The relationship between locus of control and occupational level was investigated for middle-management (n = 20) and nonmanagement (n = 41) women employed at a financial services company. No significant difference was found between the groups for locus of control or for social desirability. Significant correlations were found for the nonmanagement group between externality and schooling (r = –.39), years of service (r =.42), and social desirability (r = –.47), but none were found for women in middle management. A significant moderate correlation of –.39 was obtained between locus of control and social desirability for all 61 women.
