Keywords:
Industrial organizational psychology, workplace satisfaction, internal locus of control, burnout, organizational commitment.Abstract
Workplace satisfaction has been a topic of interest for employees, managers, and researchers for decades. Even though a large body of literature exists, there is still much to learn regarding the relationship between burnout, organizational commitment, internal locus of control and their association to individual workplace satisfaction. A 53 question self-report survey was administered through SurveyMonkey to 164 subjects, of which 53 were males and 111 were females. The majority (53%) of subjects held a professional occupation and identified as Hispanic/Latino (64%).
