influences on students Internal Locus of attribution for academic success in the first year of college
Research in Higher Education, 1996Co-Authors: Ernest T Pascarella, Marcia Edison, Linda Serra Hagedorn, Amaury Nora, Patrick T TerenziniAbstract:This study sought to determine the extent to which students' development of Internal Locus of attribution for academic success during the first year of college was influenced by institutional characteristics, students' academic experiences, and their social/nonacademic experiences. The sample was 2,392 first-year students attending 23 diverse two- and four-year institutions Iocated in 16 states throughout the country. Controlling for precollege Internal attribution, academic ability, and other potentially confounding influences, a number of variables had significant, net, positive associations with end-of-first-year Internal attribution. These included attending a two-year (versus a four-year) college, level of exposure to postsecondary education, work responsibilities, the extent of course organization, instructional clarity, and instructor support in the teaching received, and participation in intercollegiate athletics. Additional analyses indicated that many of the associations with Internal attribution were conditional rather than general, differing in magnitude for different kinds of students.

when does supervisor support encourage innovative behavior opposite moderating effects of general self efficacy and Internal Locus of control
Personnel Psychology, 2016Co-Authors: Tingting Chen, Fuli Li, Kwok LeungAbstract:Previous research is inconclusive about whether supervisor support always increases employee innovative behavior. To address this inconsistency, this research explores how and when supervisor support promotes innovative behavior by examining intrinsic motivation as a mediator and employee general self-efficacy and Internal Locus of control as boundary conditions. Although these 2 positive self-view variables are similar in terms of their positive effects on a variety of desirable work outcomes, we draw on self-verification theory, which posits that self-confirming information draws more attention, to reason that they exhibit opposite moderating effects on the influence of supervisor support. Based on 2 samples of employees in different industries and locations in China, this moderated mediated model was supported. General self-efficacy showed an enhancement moderating effect, such that it amplified the mediated relationship between supervisor support and employee innovative behavior via intrinsic motivation. In contrast, Internal Locus of control showed a substitutional moderating effect, such that it weakened this mediated relationship. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

The Presence of Ethics Codes and Employees’ Internal Locus of Control, Social Aversion/Malevolence, and Ethical Judgment of Incivility: A Study of Smaller Organizations
Journal of Business Ethics, 2019Co-Authors: Sean R. Valentine, Sheila K. Hanson, Gary M. FleischmanAbstract:Workplace incivility is a current challenge in organizations, including smaller firms, as is the development of programs that enhance employees’ treatment of coworkers and ethical decision making. Ethics programs in particular might attenuate tendencies toward interpersonal misconduct, which can harm ethical reasoning. Consequently, this study evaluated the relationships among the presence of ethics codes and employees’ Locus of control, social aversion/malevolence, and ethical judgments of incivility using information secured from a sample of businesspersons employed in smaller organizations ( N = 189). Results indicated that ethics code presence was associated with a more Internal Locus of control and stronger ethical judgment of workplace incivility. Social aversion/malevolence was negatively related to ethical judgment, and Internal Locus of control was positively related to ethical judgment. Smaller firms should develop ethics codes to manage individuals’ perceptions of control, thus encouraging enhanced ethical reasoning in situations that involve the mistreatment of coworkers; they should also monitor counterproductive tendencies that harm such reasoning and precipitate incivility.

Internal Locus of control and social support associated with some dietary changes by elderly participants in a diet intervention trial
Journal of The American Dietetic Association, 2001Co-Authors: Patricia A Murphy, Elaine T Prewitt, Eileen Bote, Barbara West, Frank L IberAbstract:Abstract Objective Measure relationships of Locus of control and social support to diet changes in an intervention trial. Design Participants in the Polyp Prevention Trial (PPT) completed Multidimensional Health Locus of Control (MHLC) and Norbeck Social Support Questionnaires (NSSQ) and modified Block food frequency questionnaires. Data were collected at baseline and 1 year later. Subjects/setting A convenience sample of PPT intervention (N=68) and control (n=43) participants at 1 clinical center participated in this ancillary study. Main outcome measures Mean daily dietary intakes after 1 year were compared with baseline values. Intervention participants' scores for MHLC Internal Locus of control and NSSQ total functional network were correlated with diet changes. Statistical analyses performed Group percentages were compared using the Fisher exact test; means were compared by t test. Results Groups were comparable in demographics, baseline diet, and scores for Internal Locus of control and total functional network. Intervention group participants made greater diet changes than control participants in intake of fat (−27g vs −8g), fat as a percentage of kilocalories (−8% vs −2%), fiber as grams per 1,000 kcal (7g vs 0.3g), and daily fruit/vegetable servings (2.0 vs 0.2). Pearson correlations of diet changes with Internal Locus of control scores (all P >.05) were fat grams, r =0.031; fat as percentage of kilocalories, r =0.023; fiber grams per 1,000 kcal; r =0.230; and fruit/vegetable servings, r =0.186. Correlations with total functional network scores were: fat grams, r =0.022 (P>.05); fat as percentage of kilocalories, r =−0.108 ( P >.05); fiber grams per 1,000 kcal, r =0.276, P r =0.326, P Applications/Conclusions Intensive and skillful dietary intervention can succeed whether or not clients bring strong Internal Locus of control or social support to the diet change program.
