Abstract

Based on prior research on internal locus of control and person-environment fit, we examined the effect of the congruence of enterprise owner and manager internal locus of control on role conflict, which in turn influences manager's turnover intention. Results of cross-level polynomial regressions on 173 dyads supported the congruence effect hypothesis. Furthermore, asymmetrical incongruence effects were found when managers had lower role conflict and poorer turnover intention and their internal locus of control was lower than their leaders' as compared with when their internal locus of control was higher. These findings highlight the pivotal roles played by enterprise owner in reducing role conflict and turnover intention of manager.
