Examining Locus of Control (LOC) as a Determinant of Organizational Commitment among University Professors in Pakistan

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the rel ationship between locus of control (LOC) and organizational commitment. The research will be con ducted on university level Professors in Pakistan. Previous research suggests that Professio nal orientation of professors and locus of control play an important role in contributing to p rofessors' affective commitment. The finding through this research will explain that participant s with more internal locus of control are more likely to have high affective and normative commitm ent whereas participants with more external locus of control are more likely to have high conti nuance commitment. The results will be discussed with series of recommendations for univer sity level professors in Pakistan. Implications will be discussed.
