Attributing success to external influences, such as fate, luck or coincidence indicates the formation of external locus of control. Not recognising the link between effort and the effects of work may contribute to lower achievement motivation and, consequently, may lead to less involvement and poorer educational results. In this study a question was posed whether this correlation really exists and whether girls with a different level of locus of control (LOC) differ in terms of achievement motivation. The study, carried out on a sample of 172 girls (16 to 20 years of age), used a Delta questionnaire by Drwal to investigate the locus of control and the LMI Inventory to examine achievement motivation. The results of this study confirmed that there is a relationship between achievement motivation and the locus of control. In addition, the analysis included age variable. On this basis it was concluded that age can modify achievement motivation in terms of self-confidence, flexibility, status orientation and pride in productivity.

In the experimental studies conducted to date, the connection of the locus of human control with various forms of its behaviour and personal properties has been revealed. At the same time, the question of the peculiarities of self-attitude of university students with different levels of subjective control requires further study. This article presents the results of a comparative analysis of the psychological structure of self-attitude among university students with an internal and external locus of control. As a result of empirical research, it was determined that students with an internal locus of control significantly outperform students with an external locus of control in terms of the degree of expression of such parameters of self-attitude as "Self-confidence", "Reflected self-attitude", "Self-acceptance". The greatest differences between students with different levels of subjective control are found in the degree of expression of such a parameter of self-attitude as “Self-confidence”. It is concluded that students with an internal type of control have a more positive self-attitude than students with an external type of control. It is established that students with an internal locus of control have a greater number of positive correlations between the parameters of self-attitude and the corresponding greater integration of the psychological structure of self-attitude in comparison with students with an external locus of control.

Achievement motivation needs to be possessed by every individual.

Fitts modified by Julia Raymod Lorenz, inventory Rotters Internal-External Locus of Control (I-E Scale), and achievement motivation scale. The data were analyzed by percentage technique, simple linear regression technique, and multiple linear regression technique. The finding of research are: 1) the general level of self concept is in middle category, 2) locus of control is in the middle range between internal locus of control and external locus of control with an average as big as 11.46, 3) the general level of achievement motivation is in middle category, 4) there is an effect self concept to achievement motivation, 5) there is an effect locus of control to achievement motivation, and 6) there is an effect self concept and locus of control to achievement motivation.

This study examined associations among measures of epistemic orientation, field dependence-independence, locus of control, and the achievement motive. Subjects were assessed using the Psycho-Epistemological Profile, the Portable Rod and Frame Test, Rotter's Internal-External Locus of Control Scale, and the Mehrabian Achieving Scale. Analysis of the correlation matrix indicated significant relations among Internal Epistemic Orientation, Field Independence, and Achievement Motive. A subsequent principal components factor analysis showed that the measure of achievement motive had a significant negative loading on the factor for an external locus of control. The implications were discussed.

Procrastination in outplacement situations Procrastination in outplacement situations In this study we investigated the relationship between several personality aspects and procrastination in an outplacement situation in which people have to apply for a job. A total of 134 employees from different organizations, who lost their job because of company closure or reorganization, filled out a questionnaire. The analyses showed that procrastination was more likely among those employees with an external locus of control and who had low levels of achievement motivation. After a four-month outplacement period, however, employees high on procrastination were not less successful in finding a job compared to those who procrastinated less. It is possible that other aspects play a role, for instance the demand for specific employers on the labor market.

Abstract. Locus of control is one of the personality characteristics possessed by humans. Locus of control can be divided into two, namely internal locus of control and external locus of control. Locus of control is a predictor of several other variables, such as learning achievement. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of locus of control with learning achievement. This research uses descriptive and correlational methods. The instrument filling is done online by using the google form application considering the increasing spread of COVID-19. Finally, as many as 36 students participated in filling this instrument. In this study, researchers used the Rotters Internal-External Locus of Control (IE Scale) inventory consisting of 29 items, of which there were 6 filler items, so that the total number of items that could be processed was 23 items, while to see learning achievement using the Grade Point Average (GPA) that researchers get from the Academic Information System (SIAKAD). Research findings show that locus of control has a strong negative relationship with student learning achievement. We advise students to have an internal locus of control while continuing to believe in God; The counselor is expected to be able to arrange an intervention program for students who have an external locus of control and have low learning achievement.

Rotter's I-E Scale was administered to a non-college population of males and females in 3 age groups: 5–15, 16–25, and 46–60. Internal locus of control expectations increased with age. A trend for males to be more internal in their beliefs was suggested.
