Abstract: This study aimed at investigating the relationship between Salutogenic constructs \n(Sense of Coherence, Locus of Control and Self-Efficacy) and Interpersonal Styles. \nIn addition it sets out to examine whether there are any differences between both \naforementioned variables and selected individual and organisational variables, \nspecifically, gender, race, age and tenure. A significant positive relationship was \nfound to exist between Salutogenic constructs and Interpersonal Styles classified as \nFriendly, while significant negative relationships were found between Salutogenic \nconstructs and Interpersonal Styles classified as Hostile and Hostile-Submissive. \nSalutogenic constructs were found to have no significant relationships with the \nremaining five Interpersonal Styles namely Dominant, Dominant-Friendly, FriendlySubmissive, \nSubmissive and Hostile-Dominant. Salutogenic constructs showed no \nsignificant differences with regards gender and race, but significant differences with \nregards age and tenure. Interpersonal Style showed significant differences with \nregard to race, age and tenure, but not with gender with the exception of the Hostile-Submissive, \nHostile and Friendly styles
