Locus of control theory, which was developed by Rotter, suggests that there are two main types of peoples’ behaviors when attributing their failure or success of their life events: external locus of control and internal. The way that individuals act is determined by their expectations of their specific behaviors and the value that they add to these expectations. For instance, people who fit in the internal category are more likely to attribute their life events to their own behaviors, skills, and attitudes, while people who fit in the external category, tend to attribute their acts to fate, chance, and other exterior factors that are out of their control. The aim of this systematic literature review was to define the fundamental concept of LOC theory, to investigate major findings of the theory in accordance with LOC and procrastination, job satisfaction, and performance and lastly, to discuss the practical use of the theory in the organizational context.
