In this article, the authors focus on a widely used attitudinal construct--locus of control--to examine the role of personal motivation and initiative in the labor market experiences of young men. The objectives are to estimate the influence of locus of control on subsequent employment and nonemployment experience and, where such a relationship is established, to extend the results to the issue of the extent to which racial differences in teenage work attitudes are predictive of subsequent racial differences in unemployment. Specifically, the authors examine the nature of relationships between internal-external control measured in the first years of labor market experience (17-20 years old) and subsequent labor market experience during the initial years in the adult labor market seven years later. |
