The research findings showed that teachers mostly exhibited internal locus of control and this was followed by external and chance locus of control. There was no significant difference in the locus of control according to teachers’ gender, marital status, length of service at that school and love the profession. The teachers’ locus of control showed significant difference according to age, seniority, teaching specialty and socio-economic status of the school. Based on these findings, the research signified the important of aware raising activities to increase teachers’ internal locus of control and delivering practice-based training to teachers through the support of academics working in his field.  \nKey words: Teacher, Anatolian high school, internal, external, chance, locus of control  \nDOI: 10.29329/epasr.2019.201.5  \n1 Assist.

These are indeed related to the concept of locus of control. The concept of locus of control comes from the word control. Control is defined as power to influence or direct human behavior or the course of events (Oxford Dictionary, 2018) . Expecting that certain behaviours of individuals will lead to certain consequences; response-result expectation, action-outcome expectation, and the degree of the relationship between the results and responses (Bandura, 1977; Heckhausen, 1977) indicate this concept. Skinner (1996) also pointed out different uses of the word control.
