Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh mediasi dari trait extraversion terhadap hubungan antara locus of control internal dan kelekatan pada organisasi. Menggunakan teori conversation of resource sebagai pedoman, individu dengan LOC internal akan lebih termotivasi untuk memperoleh sumber daya (jaringan sosial) yang diperlukan dalam pekerjaan, yang membuat mereka menampilkan trait extraversion agar dapat memperoleh sumber daya yang luas, dan pada gilirannya memaksa mereka tetap bekerja di organisasi untuk mempertahankan sumber daya tersebut. Data diperoleh dari karyawan berbagai organisasi di Jabodetabek (N=273) dan dianalisis menggunakan macro Hayes PROCESS pada SPSS v. 20. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa terdapat efek tidak langsung yang signifikan dari LOC internal pada kelekatan pada organisasi melalui trait extraversion (indirect effect = -0.005, SE = 0.002, CI = [-0.010, -0.002]). Implikasi secara teoretis dan praktis akan dibahas dalam penelitian ini.

This study aims to investigate the mediating effect of trait extraversion on the relationship between locus of control internal and job embeddedness. Drawing from conservation of resources theory, an individual with internal LOC will be more motivated to acquire resources needed for the job, which force them to be extraverted in order to acquire greater resources, and subsequently will force them to stay in their current organization to maintain the acquired resources. Data were collected among employees from various organizations in Jakarta and its surroundings (N=273) and were analyzed using the Hayes PROCESS macro on SPSS v. 20. The results showed that extraversion mediated the relationship between internal LOC and job embeddedness, as the indirect effect of internal LOC on job embeddedness via trait extraversion was found significant (indirect effect = -0.005, SE = 0.002, CI = [-0.010, -0.002]). Theoretical and practical implications were discussed.
