The principal objective of the study was to examine the factor structure and metrical properties of the third edition (1999) of the Locus of Control Inventory (LCI). A corollary of the study was to examine the convergent validity of the instrument. After a thorough revision and extension of the scale to 88 items it was applied to a sample of 2091 first-year university students. Particular attention was paid to the shortcomings revealed in a study by de Bruin (2004). An iterative principal factor analysis of the scale was done. The three-factor-structure previously found was substantiated by the analysis. The obtained factors were interpreted as Autonomy, External Control and Internal Control. Highly acceptable reliabilities were obtained. As far as validity is concerned it was found that Internal Control and Autonomy are strongly related to Psychological Wellness and External Control negatively to Stress Management. The implications of the findings are discussed.

The primary objective of the study was to construct a normative scale of locus of control for use with students and adults. A corollary of the study was to establish the personality, interest and cognitive correlates of locus of control. Conceptually the instrument is based on attribution theory and on social learning theory. The first edition of the Locus of Control Inventory (LCI) was applied to 356 first-year university students during 1994. A factor analysis of the 65 items of the inventory yielded three factors. The factors were interpreted as Autonomy, Internal Control and External Control. Three scales, corresponding to the three factors, were constructed, and yielded reliability coefficients of 0,80; 0,77 and 0,81 respectively. Following this the cognitive, interest and personality correlates of the LCI were determined. The implications of the findings are discussed. Opsomming Die hoofdoel van die studie was die konstruksie van ’n normatiewe skaal van lokus van beheer vir gebruik met studente en volwassenes. ’n Newe-doelwit van die studie was om die persoonlikheids-, belangstellings- en kognitiewe korrelate van lokus van beheer te bepaal. Konseptueel is die instrument op attribusieteorie en sosiale-leerteorie gebaseer. Die eerste-uitgawe van die Lokus van Beheervraelys (LvB) is op 356 eerstejaaruniversiteitstudente toegepas gedurende 1994. ’n Faktorontleding van die 65 items van die vraelys is gedoen en het drie faktore opgelewer. Die faktore is as Outonomie, Interne Beheer en Eksterne Beheer geïnterpreteer. Voorts is drie skale wat ooreenstem met die drie faktore, gekonstrueer en het betroubaarhede van 0,80; 0,77 en 0,81, onderskeidelik, opgelewer. Vervolgens is die kognitiewe, belangstellings- en persoonlikheidskorrelate van die LvB bepaal. Die implikasies van die bevindinge word bespreek.

The validity of the stereotype by which physically attractive persons are attributed greater internal control and greater success orientation than unattractive persons was studied among college students. For 32 male and 32 female college undergraduates, while attractiveness was unrelated to achievement orientation, attractive individuals were in fact more internal in their locus of control.

Internal control refers to the perception of an event as contingent upon one’s own behavior, capacities or one’s relatively permanent characteristics. External control, on the other hand, indicates that a positive or negative reinforcement following some action of the individual is perceived as not being entirely contingent upon his or her own action but the result of chance, fate, or luck or it may be perceived as under the control of powerful others and unpredictable because of the complexity of forces surrounding the individual (Anastasi, 1988). If we believe that we are the cause of most events, we have a highly internal locus of control. If we believe that most events in our life are caused by luck, fate or powerful others, we have a highly external locus of control. (Morgan et.al.1986).

Theoretically, locus of control may be related to coping and defense style. Because little is known about specific relationships, scores on Levenson's Chance, Powerful Others, and Internal control scales were correlated with 20 coping and defense measures for a sample of 2648 Marine Corps recruits. The findings suggested that the relationship of locus of control with coping and defense could be described in terms of two integrated personality styles. The external style combines external control orientations with low coping skills and externalizing defenses, e.g., displacement. The internal style combines internal control with minimizing, reversing defenses, and more extensive coping. These styles received some support from prior research and may help explain the association between better over-all adjustment and internality. These tentative style formulations can provide a basis for more detailed investigations of control and coping and defense.

The principal objective of the study was to determine the cognitive, educational and personality correlates of the revised edition (1995) of the Locus of Control Inventory (LCI). The three-factor-structure of the LCI was confirmed by Schepers (2004a, pp. 36-41). The obtained factors were interpreted as External Control, Internal Control and Autonomy. The resulting scales yielded reliabilities of 0,841, 0,832 and 0,866 respectively. As far as validity is concerned statistically significant relationships were found with the matric mark, and with several measures of the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire, the Personal, Home, Social and Formal Relations Questionnaire, the Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes, and the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory. The implications of the findings are discussed.

Two conceptions of interpersonal power, Rotter's concept of internal-external control and Christie and Geis' concept of Machiavellianism were compared. The I-E scale and the Mach IV scale were given to 3 independent groups. In all 3 samples, external control Ss were significantly higher Machiavellian than internal control Ss. Results were discussed in terms of conflicting values reflected in the scale content of the two measures.

The Levenson Locus of Control Questionnaire was completed by 91 male and 82 female Australian high school students. Principal component analysis gave three interpretable factors: General External Control, Internal Control and Powerful Others Control. This factor pattern is different from those of Levenson (1974) and Walkey (1979). Further analyses utilizing mean scale scores and correlations showed some agreements and disagreements with these previous studies on scale characteristics. Evidence for the multidimensionality of the questionnaire and suggestions for further research on locus of control of high school students were also presented.

This study aims to analyze the factors that affect employee commitment so that its role in improving the accountability of budget reporting can be optimized. The study was conducted on 20 units of East Java Provincial Government Office in 2016. Data were collected by giving questionnaires to 268 respondents and analyzed using multiple linear regression method. Researchers establish organizational learning and locus of control as a variable that affects the commitment of employees. The results of the analysis prove that employee commitment can be optimized through organizational learning process with indicators in the form of thinking systems, mentality, personal skills, teamwork, and understanding of the vision of the organization. Meanwhile, locus of control measured by internal control and external control proved unable to increase employee commitment.

Job satisfaction is a complex variable and is influenced by situational factors of the job environment as well as dispositional characteristics of an individual. The aim of this study was to determine the possible relationship between locus of control and job satisfaction. The Locus of Control Questionnaire and Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire were administered on 101 senior police members in the North West Province. The results of the empirical study confirm a correlation of large effect between locus of control (combination of internal control, external control and autonomy) and job satisfaction of senior police personnel. A moderate negative correlation was also found between an external locus of control and the job satisfaction of senior police personnel. Opsomming Werkstevredenheid is n komplekse veranderlike en word beinvloed deur situasionele faktore in die werksomgewing, asook disposisionele eienskappe van 'n individu. Die doel van hierdie ondersoek was om die moontlike verband tussen lokus van beheer en werkstevredenheid te bepaal. Die Lokus van Beheer-vraelys en Minnesota Tevredenheidsvraelys is op 101 senior polisiepersoneellede in die Noordwes-Provinsie afgeneem. Die resultate van die empiriese ondersoek dui aan dat daar 'n verband van groot effek tussen lokus van beheer (interne beheer, eksterne beheer en outonomie) en werkstevredenheid van senior polisiepersoneel bestaan. 'n Matige negatiewe verband is ook tussen 'n eksteme lokus van beheer en werkstevredenheid van senior polisiepersoneel gevind.
