Abstract

Locus of control because of its importance as your locus of control says a lot about how you view the world and your role in determining the course of your life. Present study investigates the relationship among demographic groups and research variables. The literature does provide support for the relevant relationship among these variables; however, such evidence is not entirely unambiguous and, therefore, deserving of future study. The sample for the present study comprised of 30 MPA students; 16 males and 14 females. Statistical treatment of the data obtained for the research was done using t-test. Result showed that there is no significant difference between the variables and demographic groups (gender/domicile). Only one variable ‘Influence’ was found to have significant difference with gender. The study points that why and how influence effects the people’s perceptions and how to direct that stream in a positive direction.
