Abstract
To determine whether employees' locus of control moderated the relationship between several work characteristics (autonomy, feedback, performance-reward connections, job involvement) and job satisfaction 193 managers in a large utility company participated. Internals ( n = 58) perceived more autonomy, feedback, and performance-reward connections on their jobs than externals ( n = 69). Internals were more involved and satisfied with their jobs than were externals. However, the correlations between the work characteristics and job satisfaction were generally positive for both internals and externals but small.
