•The mediating effect of CSE on the P–E fit-job satisfaction relationship is tested.•Core self-evaluation is strongly associated with job satisfaction.•The P–E fit-job satisfaction relationship is partially mediated by CSE.
This study examined the mediating effect of core self-evaluations on the relationship between person–environment fit and job satisfaction among professional laboratory technicians. One hundred and ninety-seven professional laboratory technicians (158 females and 39 males) from both France and Belgium completed a person–organization fit scale; a person–job fit scale, a core selfevaluation scale and a job satisfaction scale. Correlational results indicated that job satisfaction was positively associated with person–organization fit, person–job fit and core selfevaluations. The results using structural equation modeling showed that core selfevaluations partially mediated the relationship between person–environment fit and job satisfaction. The significance and limitations of the results are discussed.
