Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An external locus of control is the belief that one's success or failure is primarily determined by external factors such as luck or the actions of others, rather than one's own abilities and actions. This can reduce the likelihood of success in starting a business because it may lead to a lack of personal responsibility and initiative.
