Effects of Locus of Control and Task Complexity on Prospective Remembering

The effect of intelligence on the relationship between locus of control and task complexity. The aim of the study was to establish the effects of intelligence on the relationship between locus of control and task complexity. These constructs were selected by virtue of their importance in the literature, as well as the lack of empirical research regarding the assumed relationship which exists between them. The Human Sciences Research Council's (HSRC) General Scholastic Aptitude Test (ASAT) was used for measuring intelligence, Duttweiler's Internal Control Index (ICI) was used for determining locus of control and the Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices (APM) was used as a criterion for coping with task complexity. These instruments were administered to 292 subjects to determine whether the relationship between locus of control and task complexity was effected when the effect of intelligence was controlled. The results indicated a significant relationship between locus of control and task complexity, however the relationship was no longer significant after the effect of intelligence was controlled. Opsomming Die doel van die studie was om die effek van intelligensie op die verhouding tussen lokus van kontrole en taak-kompleksiteit te ondersoek. Hierdie konstrukte is gekies na aanleiding van hulle belangrikheid in die literatuur asook die leemte in empiric se navorsing rakende die veronderstelde verband wat tussen hulle bestaan. Die Algemene Skolastiese Aanlegtoets (ASAT) van die Raad vir Geesteswetenskaplike Navorsing (RGN) is gebruik vir die meting van intelligensie, die Internal Control Index (ICI) van Duttweiler is gebruik vir die meting van lokus van kontrole en die Advanced Progressive Matrices (APM) van Raven is gebruik as maatstaf vir die bantering van taakkompleksiteit. Die genoemde meetinstrumente is op 292 proefpersone toegepas om te bepaal of die verband tussen lokus van kontrole en taakkompleksiteit geaffekteer word wanneer daar vir die effek van intelligensie gekontroleer is. Die resultate toon 'n statistics betekenisvolle verband tussen lokus van kontrole en taakkompleksiteit, hoewel die verband onbeduidend was nadat die effek van intelligensie beheer is.

The Inspectorate of Pasuruan City in carrying out its function required good performance management to support the implementation of development in Pasuruan area. Many factors affect employee performance such as locus of control and task complexity. This research aims to determine the influence of locus of control and the complexity of the task to the performance of employees (study at the Office of Inspectorate Pasuruan City). The samples used were the entire population of the staff in Pasuruan's Inspectorate of 33 employees using census techniques. Data collection techniques using questionnaires. The data analysis used in this study is a double linear regression analysis. Based on the results of the study obtained locus of control and the complexity of the task simultaneously affect the performance of employees evidenced by the value of Fcount 18.592. A partial locus of control affects the performance of employees evidenced by the value of Thitung 3.306 and the complexity of the task affects the performance of employees evidenced by the value of Thitung 2.901. Its adjustable R Square number indicates that 52.4% of employee performance variables can be explained by the locus of control variables and task complexity in the regression equation, while the remainder of 47.6% is described by other variables outside the variables used in this study. The better the locus of control and the complexity of the task then the better the employee performance.

And Task

In the present study was examined the effects of locus of control and task complexity on perceptions of task characteristics by 110 business undergraduates. Individuals with an internal locus of control perceived more skill variety, task significance, autonomy, and feedback than individuals with an external locus of control when working on a complex task. It is argued that external scorers are less responsive to environmental cues under conditions of high task complexity.

Abstract. This research was aimed to obtain empirical evidents on effects of locus of control, obedience pressure, and taks complexity on audit judgment. The population of this research is auditors who worked on Public Accountant Offices in Tangerang which listed on Directory IAPI on October 2016. The sampling was conducted by purposive sampling technique and the sample used in this research was 52 respondent. Collecting data was conducted by questionnaire instrument. The method of analysis was used to test the hypothesis is multiple linear regression. The result of research showed that locus of control has a significant positive effect on audit judgment; obedience pressure has a significant negative effect on audit judgment; and task complexity has a significant negative effect on audit judgment.Abstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memperoleh bukti secara empiris pengaruh locus of control, tekanan ketaatan, dan kompleksitas tugas terhadap audit judgment. Populasi penelitian ini adalah auditor yang bekerja pada Kantor Akuntan Publik diwilayah Tangerang yang terdaftar di directory IAPI per Oktober 2016.
