Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Employees with a high external locus of control tend to believe that outside factors such as luck, fate, or their superiors have a greater influence on their job performance than their own abilities or efforts.

In fact, they may have higher job satisfaction than those with a high internal locus of control because they are less likely to take responsibility for negative outcomes.
