Question 6

Sarah and Liam work in the same department at a marketing firm but have very different views on career success. Sarah is convinced that her professional achievements are a direct result of her personal effort and choices, whilst Liam believes that career progression is largely down to luck, timing, and office politics.

Their department is currently facing pressure from colleagues to volunteer for an unpaid weekend promotional event. Neither Sarah nor Liam wants to participate, and their co-workers are actively trying to persuade them to sign up.

Using your knowledge of locus of control, identify which employee is most likely to resist the social influence of their colleagues. Explain why.
