Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Employees with a high internal locus of control believe that they have control over their circumstances and are more likely to take responsibility for their successes and failures. This leads to a sense of empowerment and job satisfaction, as they feel that their efforts are directly linked to their outcomes. Therefore, option A is the correct choice. Option B is incorrect because blaming others for poor performance is a characteristic of an external locus of control. Option C is incorrect because a high internal locus of control is associated with a sense of ownership and engagement with one's work, so it does not lead to alienation. Option D is incorrect because employees with a high internal locus of control are more likely to be involved in their jobs as they feel that their efforts have a meaningful impact.
