A survey of Singaporean SMEs was carried out to determine the relationship between the growth of local SMEs and the characteristics of owners and the firm. The study analysed both the demographic and psychological attributes of the owners, as well as firm attributes, such as size and age of the firm. Regression models were constructed to determine the relationship between the growth of SMEs and owners' and firms' characteristics. The results show that the educational level and working experience of owners, their need for achievement and internal locus of control, as well as the age of the business, and the ability of the business to attract government grants correlate significantly with the growth of the firm.

The Relationship

Contradictory results have been published on the relationship of locus of control with job involvement, so in this study occupational needs were tested as moderators between the variables. Needs were measured with Ghiselli's Self-description Inventory, job involvement with Kanungo's Job Involvement scale, and locus of control with Pettersen's scale. Job involvement of 220 mainly female teachers was significantly predicted by extrinsic needs, and that of 213 female secretaries rather by intrinsic needs. Job involvement related to extrinsic needs was not associated with locus of control, while this relationship with intrinsic needs and job involvement was not needed for internal locus of control to correlate with job involvement. Especially the combination of strong intrinsic and extrinsic needs moderated the correlation, although locus of control could correlate with job involvement also for subjects with weak needs. The correlations were independent of internality of control or the amount of involvement. These results suggest that locus of control and job involvement are independent variables, and the former cannot be used as a predictor of the latter.

<p><span>This study aims to test the hypothesis that classroom engagement mediates the relationship between students’ internal locus of control and academic procrastination. As many as 302 students from a private university between 18 to 26 years of age were recruited to respond to Internal-External Locus of control Scale, Classroom Engagement Inventory, and Academic Procrastination scale. Bootstrapping analyses were conducted by utilizing PROCESS Macro model 4 in SPSS software, and the results showed that the mediator variable fully mediates the link between the predictor and outcome variables. In other words, the direct effect of internal locus of control on academic procrastination was no longer significant when controlling for classroom engagement. Further discussion, implications and suggestions were presented at the end of the article.</span></p>

The relationship between jealous feelings and behaviors was investigated by giving 185 college students who were currently dating four measures. Analysis showed that high self-esteem, an internal locus of control, and the making of a dispositional (internal) attribution of the cause of jealousy were all significantly related to the use of direct coping (jealous) behaviors.

Background: Burnout is a major problem for nursing. There is a strong relationship between work stress and emotional exhaustion. Although studies report a negative correlation between the internal locus of control and emotional exhaustion and work stress, the number of studies available on the subject is limited. Purpose: This study intends to examine the extent to which the relationship between work stress and emotional exhaustion is mediated by nurses’ internal locus of control. Methods: The study adopted a cross-sectional survey design. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling techniques. The study sample consisted of 347 nurses who worked in a university hospital in Izmir, Turkey and who agreed to participate in the study. The Work-Related Strain Inventory was used to evaluate the nurses’ work stress level, Maslach Burnout Inventory was used to evaluate their emotional exhaustion levels, and the Locus of Control Scale was used to evaluate the internal locus of control. The variables of the study were based on the Neuman Systems Model. Results: Work stress was positively related to internal locus of control (β = .21, p < .001), which was, in turn, negatively associated with emotional exhaustion (β = −.03, p > 0.1). Internal locus of control was negatively related to emotional exhaustion (β = −.14, p < .001). Work stress is directly (β = .87, p < .001) and indirectly related to emotional exhaustion (mediated by internal locus of control β = .84, p < .001). Work stress is directly (β = .87, p < .001) and indirectly related to emotional exhaustion (mediated by internal locus of control, β = .84, p < .001). Conclusion: Although the relationship between emotional exhaustion and work stress was mediated, the impact of internal locus of control was limited. It is recommended that different variables be included in future studies so that they can mediate the relationship between work stress and emotional exhaustion.

The Relationship

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between spousal locus-of-control orientation and marital satisfaction. Two competing hypotheses were examined. The similar ity hypothesis states that spouses with similar locus-of-control orientation will be more satisfied with their marriage than will those with dissimilar orientations. The internality hypothesis postulates that couples in which both partners have an internal locus-of-control orientation will be more satisfied than will other couples. The similarity hypothesis was not supported by the results. The data were more consistent with the internality hypothesis, although the interaction effect shows that one's internality is more important than the partner's internal locus of control. Implications of these findings for family practitioners are discussed.

The Relationship

Academic stress in students will arise when there is pressure for achievement both in the learning process and the interaction process in school. Academic stress is caused by the inability of students to process perceptions so that the achievement of the learning process is considered as academic demands that exceed the limits of their abilities and also the students' uncertainty about events in their lives can be controlled by themselves. This study aims to determine the relationship of internal locus of control and academic stress of students of SMAN 2 Cimahi. The subject of this research is the students of SMAN 2 Cimahi in the academic year 2018/2019. Measuring instruments in this study were academic stress scale (49 items; α = 0.875) and internal locus of control scale (30 items; α = 0.618). The method of data analysis in this study is Pearson correlation analysis. The results of Pearson correlation analysis based on the significance value p = 0.00 <0.05, which means that there is a relationship between internal locus of control and academic stress. The results of a simple correlation analysis (r) obtained a correlation between internal locus of control and academic stress of 0.610. This means that there is a strong relationship between internal locus of control and academic stress, while the direction of the relationship is positively significant, which means that the higher the internal locus of control, the academic stress will be lower. Internal locus of control effectively contributed 37.2% to academic stress, while 62.8% was determined by other variables not examined in this study.
