الملخص الإنجليزي
This study aims to investigate the Locus of Control (LOC) and the role it has on individuals in becoming entrepreneurs or employees and if the LOC has an effect on entrepreneurs' and employees' innovativeness.
Also, it was designed to determine if entrepreneurs' and employees' LOC differs due to demographic factors.
The population of the study is composed of two groups: entrepreneurs and employees.
Convenient sampling was used to survey the entrepreneurs and employees in Jordan.
The number of the sample studied was 113 for entrepreneurs and 113 for employees.
One-way ANOVA and simple regression were used to test the hypotheses.
It was found that the LOC impacts innovativeness.
However, LOC doesn't differ due to demographic factors.
The results showed that internal LOC will likely increase the chances of an individual living in Jordan to become an entrepreneur.
Increasing the levels of an internal LOC will increase innovativeness levels in an individual.
While the majority of employees were found to have an external LOC and low innovativeness, the employees who were found to have an internal LOC were high in innovativeness.
This study recommended that organizations could attempt to increase employees’ internal LOC levels in an attempt to increase their innovativeness and to increase the likelihood of becoming an entrepreneur.
Since the majority of entrepreneurs had an internal LOC, educators must reinforce the role of an internal LOC in entrepreneurs
