Locus of Control and Well-Being at Work: How Generalizable are Western Findings?
研究来自24个地区的管理者数据，发现工作控制点与幸福感的关联在不同文化中普遍存在，且个人主义/集体主义水平不影响这种关联的强度。
Managers from 24 geopolitical entities provided data on work locus of control, job satisfaction, psychological strain, physical strain, and individualism/collectivism. The hypothesis that the salutary effects of perceived control on well-being are universal was supported because relations of work locus of control with well-being at work were similar in almost all the sampled areas. Furthermore, the individualism/collectivism level of each sample did not moderate the magnitude of correlations of work locus of control with measures of well-being. Findings indicate that control beliefs contribute to well-being universally, but we suggest that how control is manifested can still differ.
