The article focuses on the concept of locus of control mediates the effects of achievement motivation on achievement behavior. According to a finding, locus of control is not a unitary variable. Internal ascriptions of causality for events which may result in success or in failure can be based on the constant, stable factor of ability or the fluctuating, unstable factor of effort. Thus, there are four internal attribution conditions, success to ability, success to effort, failure to lack of ability, and failure to lack of effort. It is the attribution view that persons with high achievement needs attribute success to the internal factors of ability and effort. Persons with low achievement needs attribute failure to lack of ability which is associated with two inhibitive tendencies, shame due to failure and the expectation of future failures. Achievement motivation is positively related to the attribution of success to ability and to effort and the attribution of failure to lack of effort. Achievement needs are inversely related to the attribution of failure to lack of ability. Both the attribution of success to ability and to effort are positively related to achievement activity. |
