SANTOS, Juliana Xavier; TORRES, Ana Raquel Rosas  e  ZANINI, Daniela Sacramento. Well being, locus of control, and belief in a just world of health workers. Aletheia [online]. 2011, n.35-36, pp.123-136. ISSN 1413-0394.

The aim of this study was to assess the well being of health workers of a Rehabilitation Centre, relating it to a belief in a just world and the locus of control. Participants were 146 professionals who answered an instrument consisted of questions about socio-demographic characteristics, about physical and psychological well-being, locus of control and belief in a just world. The results showed a positive relationship between external locus of control and wellbeing, and a negative relationship between internal locus of control and well-being. There were no significant associations in the relationship between belief in a just world and well-being. The results are discussed emphasizing that the differences between the literatures and the findings are due to questionnaire's level of analysis rather than due to theoretical inconsistency.

Palavras-chave : Well-being; Locus of control; Belief in a just world of health workers.
