Abstract

P. E. Spector developed the Work Locus of Control Scale (WLCS) to be used in work settings. The present study examines three aspects of the WLCS in three separate samples: (a) factor structure, (b) criterion-related validity, and (c) convergent and discriminant validity. The preponderance of evidence suggests that the WLCS consists of two factors: internal and external. In contrast to using an overall WLCS score as described in Spector's development of the measure, users of the scale are advised to compute separate subscales.
