External Locus Of Control

The locus of control reflects whether individuals attribute their success and failure to their own behaviors (internal locus of control) or other people or luck (external locus of control). This study attempted to study locus of control among university students. The population included a total of 6,110 incoming master’s students at 10 major universities across Tehran. The sample consisted of 360 subjects selected randomly from 5 universities. The data were collected through Rotter’s Locus of Control Scale (RLCS). The data were analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistical measures (Pearson correlation, T-test). Individuals with external locus of control tend to be less certain about their ability to influence the future events. One of the important outcomes associated with internal and external locus of control is self-esteem. Any success attributed to external factors such as luck or help from others can create a sense of pride and confidence. The obtained results showed that locus of control was more internalized in male students than in female students. The results further revealed that male students attributed their successes to themselves and considered external factors to be responsible for their failure. However, the results indicated that the opposite was true about the female students since they would assume responsibility for the negative consequences of their actions. According to our results, male students had confidence in their abilities, whereas female students, due to their inbred lack of self-confidence, would constantly wait for confirmation of their actions from their environment.

Internal And External Factors

This paper examines the Locus of Control among management students. The study intends to compare male and female students on the dimensions of internal locus of control with external locus of control (others and chance). The data required was collected was based on Levenson’s Locus of Control Inventory questionnaire with necessary modifications in the items made with respect to this study. The research on gender found that internality among females is more than male students. The ratio of internality when compared with externality-total (others + chance) was <1 among the students who have undergone the survey. The sample of the study included students of Management Studies. The findings of the study showed that the percentage of females influenced by externality-others is more than male students. The gender comparison of the influence of externality-chance showed that male students are more influenced by externality chance factors then the female students. The study did not support the past literature related to influence of internal and external factors among female students compared to male.

External Locus Of Control

<p>Job satisfaction is one of the work variables that contribute greatly to the effectiveness of the organization and the work itself. Individual job satisfaction arises from a person's perception of how well the work provides something meaningful. On the other hand, external locus of control is a factor that influences an individual's perception of the environment, including the work environment. For this reason, this study aimed to find out how the relationship between external locus of control and job satisfaction is on Police Members at the Aceh Regional Police Headquarters. This study used a quantitative method with sampling based on simple random sampling technique. The sample in this study amounted to 287 people and the results showed that there was a relationship between external locus of control and job satisfaction on Members of the Police at the Aceh Regional Police Headquarters with Pearson correlation test values r=-0,232, p=0,000 (&lt;0,05). These results indicate that there is a very significant negative relationship between external locus of control and job satisfaction on Members of the Police at the Aceh Regional Police Headquarters.</p>

External Causes

Attribution theory predicts that individuals generally perceive their own behavior as being caused by external factors, while seeing others' behavior as based on internal causes. However, the likelihood of attributing external causes to another's behavior increases as the situation becomes negative and one of high consensus. This study investigated the possible use of the Rotter I-E scale in measuring situation valences through the attributions of others. The Rotter scale was completed by three groups of female university students under 3 sets of instructions which manipulated the valence of the situation. The data indicated that observing others' behavior in a high consensus, negative situation resulted in external attributions, while behavior viewed in the context of a positive situation resulted in internal attributions.

Abstract. Locus of control is one of the personality characteristics possessed by humans. Locus of control can be divided into two, namely internal locus of control and external locus of control. Locus of control is a predictor of several other variables, such as learning achievement. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of locus of control with learning achievement. This research uses descriptive and correlational methods. The instrument filling is done online by using the google form application considering the increasing spread of COVID-19. Finally, as many as 36 students participated in filling this instrument. In this study, researchers used the Rotters Internal-External Locus of Control (IE Scale) inventory consisting of 29 items, of which there were 6 filler items, so that the total number of items that could be processed was 23 items, while to see learning achievement using the Grade Point Average (GPA) that researchers get from the Academic Information System (SIAKAD). Research findings show that locus of control has a strong negative relationship with student learning achievement. We advise students to have an internal locus of control while continuing to believe in God; The counselor is expected to be able to arrange an intervention program for students who have an external locus of control and have low learning achievement.
