Locus of control at work: a meta‐analysis
这项元分析研究了控制点与多种工作结果的关系，发现内控型员工有更积极的工作体验和更高的动机，对组织管理者和心理学研究者有参考价值。
Abstract This study meta‐analyzed the relationships between locus of control (LOC) and a wide range of work outcomes. We categorized these outcomes according to three theoretical perspectives: LOC and well‐being , LOC and motivation , and LOC and behavioral orientation . Hypotheses reflecting these three perspectives were proposed and tested. It was found that internal locus was positively associated with favorable work outcomes, such as positive task and social experiences, and greater job motivation. Our findings are discussed in relation to research on core self‐evaluation and the Big Five personality traits. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
