The literature suggests that perceptions of practice likely differ between workers with an external work locus of control (WLOC) and those with an internal WLOC. It was hypothesized that workers with an external WLOC are less likely to perceive that they positively influence clients, take less responsibility for client outcomes, feel less successful, place less importance on success in employment decisions, and have less confidence in their knowledge and skills than those with an internal WLOC. Statistical models using logistic regression confirmed these hypotheses except for confidence in knowledge and skills, which showed no relationship with WLOC
