Abstract
This study is aimed at investigating the relationship between locus of
control and self-control and organizational commitment of the staff
serving with Education Department of Sabzevar. To this end, a group of
70 staff members were selected as the sample from among the 120
personnel by means of the simple random sampling method and involved
in the study. The research data were gathered by means of Rotter’s Locus
of Control Scale with a reliability coefficient of 0.83, Newstorm and
Davis Self-control Questionnaire with a reliability coefficient of 0.65, and
Allen and Meyer Organizational Commitment Scale with a reliability
coefficient of 0.79. The collected data were analyzed with SPSS 18
application and Pearson correlation test, multivariate analysis (MANOVA)
and some other supplementary tests. Results suggest that there is a
positive relation between locus of control, self-control and organizational
commitment. Furthermore, locus of control and self-control are
independently related to organizational commitment.
