Summary: | The current study was an attempt to investigate the role of locus of control on work stress and job satisfaction. To collect data, participants were selected purposively. A total of 65 respondents were selected. The work locus of control scale by Paul E. Spector, job satisfaction survey by Paul E. Spector, and workplace stress survey by The American Institute of Stress were used for the study. The findings indicate that there was no significant difference in work locus of control, job satisfaction, and workplace stress concerning gender. It was found that individuals with an internal locus of control are more likely to have higher job satisfaction. The data were analyzed using mean, S.D, Independent t-test, and Pearson's correlation coefficient. Results also showed that work locus of control and workplace stress was found positively correlated; work locus of control and job satisfaction were found negatively correlated; workplace stress and job satisfaction were negatively correlated. © 2021 The Authors
