Personality and health: The mediating role of Trait Emotional Intelligence and Work Locus of Control

Reducing conflict-related employee strain: The benefits of an internal locus of control and a problem-solving conflict management strategy

“…Specifically, internals were found to be more successful at work, while success at work also increased internal locus of control. Furthermore, (work) locus of control has been demonstrated to be related to job satisfaction and stress outcomes (Johnson, Batey, & Holdsworth, 2009).
