Abstract: The locus of control is a psychological aspect used to measure the individual’s personality and his/her believes on the inter-relationship between future outcomes and internal and external factors. The internal locus of control is highly preferable than the external locus of control due to belief that future outcomes are caused present efforts and hard work. Therefore, an internal locus of control is highly preferable in students to succeed in the future and make very effective financial and investment decisions in life. The present study emphasized the assessment of locus of control personalities among the 156 students pursuing management courses (MBA) in KBN College of Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh and India. Moreover, the study examines the locus of control personality association between gender, region, religion, and specialization. The study found a significant association between demographic factors and locus of control personalities. The study observed that a high locus of control among female, rural students due to social, cultural, educational, and economic barriers faced in their lives made them stronger mentally. The study also observed the same pattern in Hindu religion students. The statistical result found no significant differences in the locus of personalities based on the specialization. The study adopted chi-square to examine the hypothesis and reliability, and validity test.
