Locus of control refers to an individual's belief about the extent to which their actions can influence outcomes. Vivek's acknowledgment of his responsibility for not completing the assignment and his commitment to rectify the situation by prioritizing it demonstrates an internal locus of control. He believes his actions (working an extra shift and not prioritizing the assignment) directly influenced the outcome (not completing his part of the assignment) and that he has the power to change this outcome by taking specific actions (staying home to finish the work).
