The Relationship

The article focuses on the theoretical and empirical analysis of the concepts of coping strategy, locus of control (internality-externality), and achievement motivation. Different points of view on coping strategies are considered, as well as achievement motivation and internality as professionally important characteristics of managers of the real sector of the economy. The structure of the interrelation between socio-psychological characteristics and coping strategies of managers is revealed. The correlations between coping strategies, locus of control, and achievement motivation have been studied. The results of the study of the relationship between coping strategies, locus of control and achievement motivation among managers made it possible to draw the following conclusions. Firstly, the higher the level of motivation for success, the greater the likelihood is that a person will use such coping strategies as planning of a solution to the problem, positive reassessment and problem-oriented coping. Secondly, the higher the level of motivation for avoiding failures, the more likely it is that a person, in the process of coping, will resort to such strategies as distancing, escape-avoidance, emotionally-oriented coping. Thirdly, the higher the level of the internal locus of control, the greater the probability of using such coping strategies as problem-solving planning, positive reassessment, and problem-oriented coping. Finally, the higher the level of the external locus of control, the greater the likelihood is of using such coping strategies as distancing, flight-avoidance, emotionally-oriented coping.

The Relationship

The theoretical and empirical analysis of the concepts of coping strategy, locus of control (internality-externality) and achievement motivation is provided in the article. Various points of view on coping strategies, as well as on achievement motivation, social intelligence and internality as professionally important personality characteristics of leaders of the real sector of the economy are considered. The structure of the relationship of socio-psychological characteristics and coping strategies of leaders is revealed. The correlation of coping strategies and locus of control, achievement motivation is investigated. The results of the study of the relationship of coping strategies, locus of control, achievement motivation and socio-psychological characteristics among managers allowed us to draw the following conclusions. 1. Two types of leaders were obtained: “Internal” and “External”. 2. Each type of leader has his own combination of coping strategies. 3. Within each of the two types of leaders, subtypes are distinguished. As a result, we get a two-level typology, the second level of which includes five types of leaders, depending on their socio-psychological characteristics and preferred coping strategies. 4. All types are characterized only by their inherent features of coping behavior. The greatest differences in usage patterns were found in strategies such as Confrontational Coping, Positive Reappraisal, Self-Control, Distance, and Emotional Coping. All types of executives have the greatest preference for strategies such as Problem Coping and Problem Solving Planning. 5. The greatest contribution to the psychological characteristics of types was made by such qualities as aggressiveness, friendliness, dominance, altruism and authoritarianism. In addition, the level of internality (including general and relative to one’s own failures and achievements), personality traits (courage, suspicion, high normative behavior, dominance).

The Relationship

We examined the influence of locus of control on the relationship between social exclusion and preference for distinctive choices. Participants were 212 undergraduate students at a university in Central China, who completed measures of social exclusion, locus of control, choice, and perceived uniqueness. Results showed that participants who believed that the environment controlled their fate (external locus of control) preferred more distinctive choices in a social exclusion context than in a social inclusion context, whereas participants who believed that they could control the environment (internal locus of control) preferred less distinctive choices. Further, perceived uniqueness mediated the effect of social exclusion and locus of control on choice. These results add to the literature on social exclusion and personal control.

The Relationship

In order to more fully understand the relationship between paranormal belief, locus of control, and sensation seeking, 81 undergraduate university students were administered the Paranormal Belief Scale (PBS), Rotter's Locus of Control Scale, and the Sensation Seeking Scale. Results indicated that a greater external locus of control was associated with greater overall number of paranormal beliefs. Greater external locus of control was especially associated with the PBS subscales of spirituality and precognition. Contrary to expectations, belief in superstition was associated with a greater internal locus of control. Whereas overall sensation seeking was not related to overall PBS scores, the PBS subscales of greater belief in psi phenomena and superstition were found to be associated with higher levels of sensation seeking. Results are discussed in relation to conceptualizations of the different personality/belief constructs.

The Relationship

Disability sports have acquired an indispensable status in the life of many nations and the special athlete as a whole. Special athletes are exposed to a number of intense physical and psychosocial activities and they needed to make use of a set of cognitive and behavioural strategies in order to cope with these challenges and related fatigue. Hitherto, previous studies had focused largely on adaptive sports and effects of sporting activities on persons with disability without establishing a link between disabled athlete’s use of coping strategies and their achievement motivation. Therefore, it is on this premise that this study harps on the relationship between fatigue indices and coping strategies among Oyo State special athletes. Descriptive survey design using purposive sampling technique was employed. Participants of the study include all the registered special athletes in Oyo State comprising of one hundred and twenty three (123) athletes. Two standardized instruments, thus, Modified fatigue impact scale (r=0.384) and Athletic coping skills inventory (r=0.514) were both employed. Altogether, five hypotheses were tested at 0.05 significant level, and parametric statistics, Pearsons Product moment correlation, and multiple regression analysis were used to analyse the data. Findings revealed significant effect of two independent variables on the dependent variable: cognitive style (β=0.294, r=0.514, P<0.05) and psychosocial factors (β=0.236, r=0.499, P<0.05), while modified fatigue impact has no significant relative effect on coping strategies. The composite effect of independent variables (Modified Fatigue Impact, Cognitive style and Psychosocial Factor) on Athletic coping skills was significant ((F(3,119)=166.777) and about 30% of the variation was accounted for by the independent variables as explained by the adjusted R square. It is therefore recommended that the relationship between fatigue indices and coping strategies is high and the higher the individuals rated their coping with fatigue caused by their disabilities, the lower they scored on fatigue experiences. The more they used coping strategies, the more efficient they coped with fatigue.

Time Budget Pressure

This study aims to examine the effect of time budget pressure and locus of control on the dysfunctional audit behavior and to see whether the locus of control can moderate the relationship between time budget pressure and the dysfunctional audit behavior. Questionnaires are distributed to 201 auditor who act as respondents, but only 146 questionnaire thatcan be processed from 51 KAP in Jakarta. Data analysis is conducted using SmartPLS 3.0 program.The results showed that, partially, time budget pressure variable and external locus of control give significant influence to dysfunctional audit behavior while internal locus of control does not affect dysfunctional audit behavior. The external and internal variables of the locus of control are not able to moderate the time budget pressure relationship to the dysfunctional audit behavior. Another finding in the form of sensitivity analysis suggests that male respondents consider that time budget pressure and external locus of control are factors that encourage them to perform dysfunctional audit behavior while time budget pressure does not encourage female respondents to perform dysfunctional audit behaviors.

The Influence of Locus of Control on The Relationship between Professional Commitment And The  Job Satisfaction Of Accountant Academician. The effect of locus of control on the relationship between professional commitment and job satisfaction were investigated, because there has not been consistently empirical research.  As suggested in the literature, this research tests hypotheses that these specific contingency factor should aid in identifying situations where professional commitment would have a strong relationship with job satisfaction. Analysis of 41 accountant academician, who becomes the respondents, indicated that professional commitment has direct relationship with job satisfaction.  In addition, the contingency factor was found to play key role on this relationship.  The result of moderated regression analysis proved that locus of control to be pure moderator variable, and has a negative effect to the relationship between professional commitment and  job satisfaction, so that the relationship between  professional commitment and job satisfaction was significantly stronger for accountant academician with internal locus of control than in accountant academician with external locus of control. The implication of this study is relevant to university management and to academicians seeking to explain how, when, and where professional commitment is needed.<br />Key words:  job satisfaction, locus of control  professional commitment<br /><br />

This article aims at finding the relationship between households’ personality traits and their financial literacy level. The data in this research are from the household survey which can represent the population in Dutch. Using the Big Five personality traits and economic locus of control – extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, intellect, internal locus of control, and external locus of control – I have found that those people whose personality traits are intellect and internal locus of control tend to have higher level of financial literacy than those with other personality traits.

SYNOPSISForty patients on chronic haemodialysis were studied in order to gather information about the relationship of locus of control and adjustment. Negative correlations of high statistical significance were found between locus of control and compliance with the diet, and locus of control and vocational rehabilitation, as well as between locus of control and acceptance of disability. All the findings indicate that patients with internal locus of control adjust and adapt better than those with external locus of control. The number of years on dialysis did not correlate with locus of control. It might be suggested that the shift from internal to external locus of control occurs prior to dialysis in the stage of chronic kidney disease.

And Coping

Religiosity/spirituality is generally considered as a powerful tool for adjusting and coping with stressors, attributing purposes and meanings (either existential/philosophical, cognitive, or behavioral ones) to daily situations and contexts. While studies generally investigate these effects in Judaism and Christianity believers, there is a dearth of data concerning oriental religions. We sampled from Italian Nichiren Buddhists, the most widespread branch of Buddhism in Italy (n = 391). Participants were Buddhists on average since 5 years and self-defined moderate practitioners. Adaptive strategies exhibited higher scores than maladaptive ones. Specifically, the adaptive strategy of active coping positively correlated with self-evaluated degree of being a practicing Buddhist, as well as positive reframing and religion, while maladaptive strategies such as use of substances, venting and behavioral disengagement correlated negatively. Only the subscale of religion correlated significantly and positively with the time from which the participant had become Buddhist, while the use of emotional support correlated negatively. Most participants had a predominantly internal locus of control. External locus of control negatively correlated with time the participant became Buddhist and the self-reported degree of being a practicing Buddhist, whereas internal locus positively correlated only with the latter variable. Furthermore, Buddhist participants exhibited a low psychopathological profile when compared with the normative scores.

And Task

Although self-efficacy theory has generated research, investigations concerning how individual difference variables may influence self-efficacy have been lacking. The present study addressed the relationship between locus of control and self-efficacy. Subjects were 40 undergraduate females (20 with internal locus of control and 20 with external locus of control) who were asked to solve five single-solution anagrams. Prior to exposure to the anagrams, half of the subjects received a set of skill instructions and the rest were given chance instructions. When instructions were congruent with locus of control (e.g., internal-skill, external-chance) subjects expended more effort to solve the anagrams. Locus of control and instructions did not significantly affect estimates of self-efficacy, but means were ordered as predicted.
