locus of control yaitu internality, powerful-other dan chance. Kemudian data
dianalisa dengan menggunakan teknik independent-sample t test pada tingkat

kepercayaan 95% dan tingkat kesalahan (α) 0,05. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan
bahwa ada perbedaan work-family conflict yang signifikan antara karyawan yang
