LOCUS OF CONTROL
The locus of control is the framework of social learning theory that explains how people take responsibility for their actions and how they believed to be the master of their own fate (Mearns, 2016). Furthermore, the concept of locus of control splits people into internal and external personality attributes. Zimbardo (1985) accounted that it is a belief about whether the outcomes of actions are contingent on the events outside (external) or under their personal control (internal) (as cited in Ningwakwe, 2007).

Several studies suggested that internal locus of control in highly correlated to emotional intelligence (Gildea, 2012); and academic performance (Kutanis, et al., 2011; Manichader, 2014). One study showed that internal locus of control significantly influences decision making (Fagbola & Popoola, 2015). As such, people with internal locus of self-control perceived greater control and often seek out situations personally and professionally in which control is possible (Chatfield & Wooten, 2012). According to some research, internal locus of control has been associated with higher rates of altruism (Midlarsky & Midlarsky 1973, as cited in Chakrabarti, 2013). Boshoff et al. (2011) found that people with internal locus of control have higher tendency to exhibit ethical behavior than those who possesses an external locus of self-control.
