This study examined the influence of some personal and labor market factors on changes in internal-external control among young male workers. Utilizing 960 male respondents in a multiple regression analysis and an abbreviated version of the Rotter Internal-External Control Scale, this study found that labor market success, race, and employment in the private sector enhance feelings of internal control during the transition between school and work.
