Delay of Gratification and Locus of Control as Predictors of Organizational Satisfaction and Commitment: Sex Differences

Abstract

The relationships of two personality measures-locus of control and delay of gratification-with organizational satisfaction and commitment were investigated. Results indicated that orientation to delay reinforcement was positively related to commitment and satisfaction. Confirming previous findings, internality in locus of control was also positively related to the organizational constructs. However, results of analyses of sex differences and interactions between locus of control and delay of gratification in predicting satisfaction and commitment suggest that the relationships of locus of control with the organizational constructs are less simple than previously thought.
