GARCIA CABRERA, Antonia Mercedes y GARCIA SOTO, María Gracia. Influence of psychological factors on work attitudes. Rev. psicol. trab. organ. [online]. 2008, vol.24, n.2, pp.203-233. ISSN 2174-0534.
This paper examines the influence of locus of control on work attitudes in terms of gender, age and education in the Republic of Cape Verde. Gender becomes the most relevant among those demographic variables according to the current emphasis on reducing gender-related inequalities in the workplace. A number of 448 questionnaires were collected, showing that age, education level and locus of control are relevant factors in determining attitudes towards work. Results show the way to readdress employment policies in Cape Verde, especially weaknesses that restrict the development of the labor market and threaten social integration.
