This study investigated the effects of self-assessment accuracy on individual performance. The self-assessment accuracy was defined as the degree of agreement between self- and other-assessments. A total of 158 subjects assessed themselves and others in their groups on the extent to which they actively participate in their group-based task. Following the method of Atwater and Yammarino (1997), subjects were classified into four groups. Individuals assessed as high by self and others, low by self and others, high by self and low by others, and low by self and high by others were categorized as in-agreement/high assessors, in-agreement/low assessors, over-estimators, and under-estimators, respectively. To test the hypothesis that in-agreement/high assessors will show greater performance than in-agreement/low assessors, over-estimators, and under-estimators, one-way ANOVAs and post-hoc analysies were used. The results showed that in-agreement/high assessors showed greater performance (i.e., final record) than in-agreement/low assessors and over-estimators, and so the hypothesis was partially supported. In addition, this study tested the hypotheses that in-agreement/high assessors will show better indices in such individual characteristics as internal locus of control, self-esteem, self-efficacy, conscientiousness, and neuroticism than in-agreement/low assessors, over-estimators, and under-estimators. The results showed that in-agreement/high assessors showed higher self-efficacy and conscientiousness than in-agreement/low assessors, and so the hypotheses were partially supported.

The Impact

This article demonstrates that the impact of role models (RMs) on students’ self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention is moderated by their entrepreneurial experience and personality variables such as self-esteem and locus of control. 276 students enrolled in an entrepreneurship education programs (EEPs) were exposed to either a positive or a negative sensitisation message by alumni who became entrepreneurs to test its impact on the students’ self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention. Findings indicate that students with entrepreneurial experience, high self-esteem and internal locus of control are less impacted by entrepreneurial role models. We discuss the relevance and effectiveness of role models in EEPs.

RESUMENLa resiliencia es la habilidad para adaptarse a los acontecimientos adversos, superarlos y ser capaz de lograr un progreso exitoso a pesar de haber vivido esa situación traumática. Las autovaloraciones esenciales son un amplio factor de la personalidad, de orden superior, compuesto por cuatro rasgos: autoestima, autoeficacia, lugar de control interno y neuroticismo. En este trabajo nos planteamos como objetivo principal conocer si existe relación entre la resiliencia y el amplio factor de personalidad autovaloraciones esenciales; también nos planteamos averiguar si hay diferencias por sexo y por edad. Participaron en el estudio 620 estudiantes de bachillerato y universitarios (50% varones) de León y de Salamanca (España). Los instrumentos de medida fueron la Escala de Ego-Resiliencia y la Escala de Autovaloraciones Esenciales (CSES). Los resultados indican que los estudiantes con puntuaciones más elevadas en la escala de resiliencia también obtienen mejores puntuaciones en autovaloraciones esenciales. También se hallaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en función del sexo: los varones obtienen más altas puntuaciones en resiliencia y en autovaloraciones esenciales. Las diferencias por edad indican que los más jóvenes obtienen las más altas puntuaciones en autovaloraciones esenciales. Podemos concluir que los jóvenes más resilientes son aquellos con mayor equilibrio emocional, más sana autoestima, tienen lugar de control interno y expectativas de autoeficacia más elevadas. Y los varones jóvenes poseen estas cualidades en mayor medida que las mujeres.ABSTRACTResilience is the ability to adapt at adverse events, overcome them and be able to achieve successful progress despite having lived that harmful situation. Core self-evaluations are a broad, higher-order personality factor composed of four personality traits: self-esteem, self-efficacy, internal locus of control and neuroticism. In this paper, we aim to know if there is a relationship between resilience and the broad personality factor called core self-evaluations, we also consider whether there are differences by sex and age. Participants were 620 students and scholars (50% male) from León and Salamanca (Spain). The measures were the Ego-Resilience Scale and the Core Self-Evaluations Scale (CSES). The results indicate that students with higher scores on the resilience scale also score higher on core self-evaluations. We found differences statistically significant by sex: men obtained higher scores on resilience and core self-evaluations. Younger students take the highest scores on core self-evaluations. We can concluded that the most resilient young people are those with greater emotional stability, healthier self-esteem, have internal locus of control and higher self-efficacy. In addition, young men have these qualities largely than women.

Present Experimental Evidence

What individual characteristics predict inequality acceptance? Previous literature has focused on economic and sociological determinants of accepting inequalities. Here, we present experimental evidence of one individual correlate of inequality acceptance: the personality trait known as locus of control. In our study, inequality is induced experimentally through the exogenous assignment to one of two experimental treatments. In one treatment, initial inequalities depend on individual performance in a previous real-effort task, that is, they are earned through effort, while in the other they are randomly determined. We report that people who show an internal locus of control (the belief that life’s outcomes are under one’s control) are significantly more likely to accept both arbitrary and effort-based inequalities, although they accept the latter more often.

This study investigated the interactive effects of sex and locus of control in predicting the self-esteem of 83 sixth grade boys and girls in a suburban elementary school. Boys and girls did not differ significantly on the Intellectual-Academic Responsibility Scale, the indicator of locus of control. Boys scored higher than girls on two indicators of self-esteem. With specification as a mode of elaboration, an analysis of variance indicated that locus of control seemed to function as an intervening variable which mediated the effect of sex on the self-esteem of girls. Girls with high internal locus of control did not see themselves any less favorably, on the average, than did boys with a similar internal orientation. For subjects with an external orientation, the difference in mean self-esteem scores between boys and girls was magnified, with boys scoring higher than girls.

Abstract— In this globalization era, hospitality or hotelier investment opportunities are growing rapidly, but not without a formidable competition, which is why these growing opportunities and threats have to be recognised by the people in this industry. One of the most important strategy in facing the global era business competition is to convince the costumer  that the hotel they are chosing is better and has more benefits than the rest of the competition. Convincing the customer means building a relation through positive perception, positive image and positive experiences to finally gain their trusts. This is where a highly motivated Public Relations is needed as the frontline of the company. Judge, Erez & Bono (1998) stated that self esteem, self efficacy and the locust of control are the three core-self evaluation that form the basic for building individual work motivation.The purpose of this study is to see the influences of these three core-self evaluation on the work motivation of Public Relations in facing the hotel business competition. When analyzing the influences of these three variables on the work motivation of a Public Relations, the researcher uses the cybernetic tradition approach. Through this approach the researcher then uses the Expectancy Value Theory in analyzing the influences of self esteem, self efficacy, and the locus of control on the work motivation.The sample of this research is the Public Relations practitioner of Santika Indonesia Hotel and Resort. This research uses the path analysis technique. The SPSS calculation shows that the three variables bring positive influences towards the work motivation with the self efficacy line coefficient value of 0.322, self efficacy 0.340, and the locus of control with 0.346.These results show that the more positive the self esteem, self efficacy and the locus of control value of a Public Relations, the higher the work motivation of the Public Relations of Santika Hotel and Resort in facing the business competition in this global era.

Objectives: An attention to psychological aspects can clarify the understanding and management of patients with unresolved dizziness/vertigo. Thus, we study the locus of control and the mediation effect of self-efficacy for assessing the relationship between locus of control and dizziness/vertigo in a referral-based dizziness clinic.Methods: We analyzed the dizziness-specific locus of control and self-efficacy using the modified questionnaire in 117 consecutive dizzy patients (34 males; age range, 20–74 years). In addition to the visual analogue scale-dizziness for evaluation of subjective dizziness, the following items were further evaluated; Korean Dizziness Handicap Inventory, Korean Beck Depression Inventory II, and Korean Beck Anxiety Inventory. According to the verification procedure proposed by Hayes, the mediation effect of self-efficacy verifies the relationship between the locus of control and dizziness through analysis.Results: Except the scale of emotion such as anxiety and depression, sex, age, duration of illness, and diagnosis all did not significantly affect the dependent variables. Vestibular migraine (39.3%), vestibulopathy (15.4%), and dizziness associated with anxiety and depression (14.5%) were the most common diagnoses. On all scales, Cronbach’s α ranged from 0.72 to 0.94. In the direct effect, the internal locus of control had a tendency of aggravation of dizziness/vertigo, but in the indirect effect, the higher the internal locus of control, the higher the self-efficacy, and the higher the self-efficacy, the lower the dizziness.Conclusions: In our study, we can assume that the locus of control can impart ambivalent effects on dizziness/vertigo. And the modulation of self-efficacy could be another treatment for patients with unresolved dizziness.

Objective The current study examined the impact of a non-governmental organization’s academic tutoring and mentoring program on the social-emotional learning (SEL) and subjective well-being of 240 marginalized young women. Participants One-hundred-fifty-nine currently enrolled 7-12th grade students with a mean age of 16.39, SD=1.55; 40 students who were enrolled in college with a mean age of 20.25, SD=1.57, and 25 who had graduated from college with a mean age of 22.48, SD=2.16 and their leaders participated. Methods All participants completed in a survey that assessed the degree of participants’ locus of control, expectations of success (self-efficacy), current goals and career-related aspirations and their satisfaction with their relationships and life in general. Twenty-one of the participants and all leaders also were interviewed. Results Regression analyses revealed that both the participants’ self-management and the leader’s locus of control were significant predictors of the participants’ internal locus of control. Congruent with interview findings, latent structural equation analysis revealed that three manifest variables of social-emotional learning, “self-management”, “social awareness”, and “self-efficacy” had direct positive effects on participants’ subjective well-being (i.e., their satisfaction with life and relationships). Conclusion Culturally sensitive approaches to mentoring and training are needed and helpful. Future research should be carried out to mitigate design limitations and further the current study’s addition to the body of research on social-emotional learning and well-being.
