Locus of Control and Job Turnover Economic Inquiry 53,2 (April 2015): 1350-1365. Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ecin.12173/full Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Wiley Online Keyword(s): Job Turnover; Locus of Control (see Rotter Scale); Rotter Scale (see Locus of Control); Wage Growth Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. In this article, I investigate how a worker's locus of control, that is, the perception of control over daily events, affects job-to-job and job-to-nonemployment turnover. I find that an increase in internality--the degree to which respondents believe that the outcomes of their life events are determined by their own actions versus external factors--increases job-to-job transitions. In addition, the annual wage growth rate and the wage gains from job-to-job transitions increase with internality. The influence of the locus of control on job-to-nonemployment turnover, however, is insignificant on controlling for the worker's level of attained education. |
