2.3. Locus of Control

Locus of control of each individual determines that level of confidence their behavior influences what
happens to them. Rotter inside Kreitner and Kinicki (2001) state that locus of control is a way someone's
view of an event whether he feels can or not can control the events that happened to him. This locus of
control can be explain whether a person's work is controlled internally or external. When controlled
internally, one feels that something events are within its control and can take on roles and
responsibilities answer in determining right or wrong and can affect the results of his work through the
ability, expertise, or effort. If controlled externally, the individual believes that his life is determined by
destiny, luck, opportunity or other control.

Important behavioral differences between internal and external have implications as follows: first, the
internal locus of control shows high work motivation, strong expectations for their efforts towards
performance: the second relationship between job satisfaction with performance is stronger for internal
versus external; third internal earning a income greater than external, and fourth, external tend to be
more worry (anxious) compared to internal (Phillips and Bedeian, 1994 in Kreitner and Kinicki, 20010.
Yukl (2002) adds that people with Internal locus of control tends to be more responsible for its actions
alone and for the performance of the organization where he works, has more perspective on the future
and like to make proactive planning how achieving goals; and have more initiative in finding and solve
the problem. Kcts de Vries and Toulouse (1982) in Yukl (2002) also added that people with internal locus
of control are more flexible, adaptive, and invasive in responding to problems and management
strategies. Based on the theory of locus of control, the behavior of a team member will also influenced
by the characteristics of the locus of control. A team member with internal locus of control will tend to
behave proactively and be able to choose information needed. He has confidence that an event always
be in control and will take on the role and back responsible for making decisions, whether the decision is
right or wrong, Instead a team member with an external locus of control believes that all events that
occur are always out of his control and believe that his life is very much influenced by destiny, luck and
opportunity and trust more power outside of himself. Therefore. team members who have an external
locus of control will tend to be passive.

2.4. Cognitive Style

Cognitive style is an individual characteristic developed by Jung (1920) relating to how the people of Carl
Gustav perceive and make decisions from information. There are four dimensions affect cognitive style,
namely two dimensions affect perception (scnsation and intuition) and two dimensions affect decision
making (thinking or feeling). In preparing information, sensation tends to prefer obtain it directly or
through things that can be digested by olch the five senses. Whereas intuition is more inclined to
something that is polished overall, it still contains possibilities and special links between information
items. Usually more abstract, cannot be direct captured by the fifth intera. Next to decision making,
thinking refers to everything that is impersona., objective, Igis, analytical. A person will smooth
something through a series of considerations based on a number of premises. While feeling is very
personal, subjective, and unique.
