means they are significantly more inclined to be more successful and progressive within their career, and also be able to control stress levels more successfully. Sixty participants working in finance and other areas in Ireland took part in an anonymous questionnaire set up online. The questionnaire consisted of forty-seven questions, including demographic questions, a Locus of Control Scale, and the Perceived Stress Scale.
