THE ROLE OF LOCUS OF CONTROL IN REACTIONS TO BEING PROMOTED AND TO BEING PASSED OVER: A QUASI EXPERIMENT.
在香港一家国际银行的准实验中，研究了晋升和被拒绝晋升对员工态度和行为的影响。发现内控型晋升者态度改善持续更久，而外控型晋升者态度会回落到基线水平；被忽视者态度无变化；晋升者的缺勤率和绩效均下降。
The attitudinal and behavioral effects of being promoted and being rejected for promotion were examined in a quasi experiment conducted at an international bank in Hong Kong. Promoted tellers who had more internal locuses of control (LOC) maintained improved attitudes across 3- and 18-month posttest intervals. Attitudes returned to baseline levels by the second posttest among external-LOC individuals who had been promoted. There was no change in attitudes among people passed over for promotion. Absenteeism and job performance both decreased among promotees. The implications for the administration of promotions are considered.
