Gender Differences in Relation with Locus of Control and Self-Assertiveness in Colleges and University Teachers
Abstract
This study aimed to find out the relationship between locus of control and self-assertiveness among university and college teachers. A total of 100 university/college (private, government) teachers (male=51 and female=49) were chosen from various universities and colleges located in Sahiwal. The Rathus (1973) Self-assertiveness Scale and Julian Rotter' s Locus of Control Scale (1983) were used to assess self-assertiveness and locus of control, respectively. In this study, SPSS was used for statistical analysis. It was hypothesized that among university/college teachers, locus of control and self-assertiveness would be positively correlated. The findings supported the hypothesis that locus of control and self-assertiveness have a positive relationship. Another result suggested that male university/college teachers would have a higher locus of influence than female university/college teachers. Male teachers, on the other hand, were found to be more assertive than female teachers. The findings confirmed both hypotheses that male teachers are more self-assured than female teachers.
