The objective of the study was to examine how basic self-evaluation traits such as self-efficacy, locus of control, and emotional stability are associated with job satisfaction among employees. 350 employees from Multan were chosen for the study via convenient selection from various organizations. The study assessed core self-evaluation (CSE) traits and job satisfaction (JS) among employees aged 25 to 40. Using a correlational design, it employed the Rotter Locus of Control Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale, Generic Job Satisfaction Scale, and the Neuroticism/Emotional Stability Big Five Subscale. Pearson correlation and independent t-tests evaluated the effects of CSE on JS. Findings showed a significant association between CSE traits and job satisfaction. Female employees were more satisfied than males, and job satisfaction increased with age. A positive correlation was found between internal locus of control, self-efficacy, emotional stability, and job satisfaction. These CSE traits enhance job satisfaction, work engagement, motivation, and overall well-being and productivity.
