Satisfaction Analysis

The present study examined job stress and job satisfaction and their relation to measures of neuroticism, Type A behavior, and I–E locus of control as well as sex differences among Kuwaiti men ( n = 189) and women ( n = 210) employees. Women had significantly higher means on scales of job stress, neuroticism, and external locus of control, while men scored significantly higher on job satisfaction. Analysis yielded significant and positive correlations of job stress with neuroticism and locus of control of both men and women. Job satisfaction scores correlated significantly but negatively with external locus of control for both sexes, while job satisfaction had a positive correlation with Type A behavior for women only. The significant correlation between job stress and job satisfaction was negative.

Specific Scale

This study compared, in the area of job satisfaction, scores on Rotter's I-E scale and on a new internal-external locus of control scale designed specifically for the work context. The correlation of .39 with the Job Descriptive Index arrived at by using the specific scale is significantly higher than the correlation of —.16 obtained with the Rotter scale. Data suggest this new scale could be useful.

Most studies of work-related Type A behavior have been conducted with samples of white men. Using a mail questionnaire to assess Type A behavior, job satisfaction, and daily stress and tension among 250 black men and 233 black women public accountants, the prevalence of Type A behavior and its relationship with satisfaction and stress were highly consistent with those reported for other samples of white men and women.

External Locus Of Control

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of external locus of control on different job characteristic variables – i.e. role conflict, role ambiguity and emotional exhaustion, in addition to the outcome variable, job satisfaction – in a business-to-business sales setting. Design/methodology/approach – Data from B2B salespeople were used to test the proposed model using structural equation modeling. Findings – The results indicate that a more external locus of control will be: positively related to role stress factors; indirectly and positively related to emotional exhaustion; and negatively related to job satisfaction. Originality/value – This study provides a managerially actionable foundation for influencing locus of control to increase a salesperson's satisfaction with his/her position.

The aim of this study was to see how teachers' burnout is related to different aspects of locus of control, job satisfaction and demographic characteristics such as age and gender. The Job Satisfaction Scale was used to measure the subjects' job satisfaction level. In addition, the Maslach Burnout Inventory which was used to measure dimensions of teachers' burnout consisted of three subscales: emotional exhaustion, personal accomplishment and depersonalisation. The Internal-External Locus of Control Scale was used to measure the extent to which teachers had an internal or external locus of control. The findings showed that all burnout dimensions were either positively or negatively related to independent variables. All variables were statistically significant in predictive effect on depersonalisation. External locus of control and age (predictor variables) were positively and directly related to emotional exhaustion dimension of burnout. Only one variable—age (predictor variable)—was significantly predictive of personal accomplishment.

External Locus Of Control

<p>Job satisfaction is one of the work variables that contribute greatly to the effectiveness of the organization and the work itself. Individual job satisfaction arises from a person's perception of how well the work provides something meaningful. On the other hand, external locus of control is a factor that influences an individual's perception of the environment, including the work environment. For this reason, this study aimed to find out how the relationship between external locus of control and job satisfaction is on Police Members at the Aceh Regional Police Headquarters. This study used a quantitative method with sampling based on simple random sampling technique. The sample in this study amounted to 287 people and the results showed that there was a relationship between external locus of control and job satisfaction on Members of the Police at the Aceh Regional Police Headquarters with Pearson correlation test values r=-0,232, p=0,000 (&lt;0,05). These results indicate that there is a very significant negative relationship between external locus of control and job satisfaction on Members of the Police at the Aceh Regional Police Headquarters.</p>

167 officers of financial institutions in the West answered a questionnaire measuring Type A behavior and a semantic differential scale for job satisfaction. Men and women had similar characteristics except the men had more education and higher salaries. Type A scores were correlated with not being at plateau for men only. Job satisfaction was not related to Type A scores for men or women. Neither was salary related to Type A scores. Working long hours had a significant association with careers not at plateau for men but not for women.
