Abstract: Abstract The present research was aimed at exploring the effect of work role stressors and core self-evaluation (CSE) on important employee outcomes of job satisfaction, organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB) and turnover intentions. Another important objective of this study was to investigate whether CSE acts as a moderator in the above-mentioned relationship between work role stressors and employee outcomes. The sample of the study was 347 professionals from 5 sectors. The results of the hierarchical multiple regression revealed that work role stress was negatively related to both job satisfaction and OCB but positively related to turnover intentions. Further, CSE was found to be positively related to job satisfaction and OCB but negatively related to turnover intentions. The support was also found for the stress buffering effect of CSE in the prediction of job satisfaction and turnover intentions. The result of the present research finds support for the job demands-resources (JD-R) model and contributes to the existing literature by focusing on the fact that the negative effects of work role stressors on employee outcomes can be alleviated by personal resources which act as a buffer to weaken this effect. The results of the study highlight the importance of selecting the employees with high CSE, especially for the demanding jobs.
