People who develop an internal locus of control believe that they are responsible for their own
success. Those with an external locus of control believe that external forces, like luck,
determine their outcomes.
Locus of control refers to a person's belief about the extent to which they have control
over the events and outcomes in their life. People with an internal locus of control
believe that they are in control of their own lives, and that they have the power to
determine the outcomes of their actions. People with an external locus of control, on the
other hand, believe that the events and outcomes in their lives are controlled by outside
forces, such as fate, luck, or powerful others.
Internal locus of control is generally associated with higher levels of motivation and self-
esteem, as well as better mental and physical health. People with an internal locus of
control tend to be more proactive and take more personal responsibility for their
actions. They are also more likely to take initiative and pursue their goals, even in the
face of obstacles.
External locus of control, on the other hand, is often associated with lower levels of
motivation and self-esteem, and may be linked to negative mental and physical health
outcomes. People with an external locus of control may be more passive and less likely
to take action to achieve their goals, and may be more prone to feeling helpless or
hopeless in the face of challenges.
In a functional organization, employees are grouped together based on the type of work
they do. For example, all the marketing employees might be in the marketing
department, all the engineering employees might be in the engineering department,
and so on. Each department is responsible for a specific function within the
organization.

emotions. For example, crossed arms and a scowl can convey anger, while a warm
smile and open posture can convey friendliness.
3. Disagreeing: Nonverbal cues can also be used to communicate disagreement or
discomfort with what is being said. For example, shaking your head or furrowing
your brow can convey that you do not agree with the speaker.
4. Regulating interaction: Nonverbal cues can also be used to regulate the flow of
conversation, such as using eye contact to indicate that it is someone's turn to
speak or using gestures to indicate that you have a point to make.
