what are some examples of how locus of control affects leadership behavior?
employees with an internal locus of control are likely to be dissatisfied with a controlling leadership style.
employees with an internal locus of control are more likely to prefer participative leadership.
employees with an external locus of control prefer the structure of supportive leadership.
employees with an external locus of control support ineffective leadership.

Explanation:

• Internal locus of control: People believe they control their own fate. A controlling leadership style (where leader makes all decisions) would restrict their sense of autonomy, so they'd be dissatisfied. Participative leadership (involving employees in decision - making) aligns with their belief in self - control.
• External locus of control: People believe external factors control their fate. Supportive leadership (providing structure, guidance, and emotional support) gives them a sense of security as they rely on external elements (like the leader's support). There is no basis for the claim that they support ineffective leadership.

Answer:

• Employees with an internal locus of control are likely to be dissatisfied with a controlling leadership style.
• Employees with an internal locus of control are more likely to prefer participative leadership.
• Employees with an external locus of control prefer the structure of supportive leadership.
