There is also evidence that internals are better able to handle complex
information and problem solving, and that they are more achievement-
oriented than externals (locus of control). In addition, people with a high
internal locus of control are more likely than externals to try to influence
others, and thus more likely to assume or seek leadership opportunities.
People with a high external locus of control typically prefer to have
structured, directed work situations. They are better able than internals to
handle work that requires compliance and conformity, but they are generally
not as effective in situations that require initiative, creativity, and
independent action (Daft, 2008, p. 103).
