They are hard to motivate

They believe that luck plays an important role in life

They are easy to manage, because they are likely to do what they are told.

Explanation: The definition of Locus of Control in a very practical way is "where" we believe that they reside or control (responsibility) over who lives in myself or in one me.

When a person has the place of control he predominantly believes that he has no responsibility for the results and events that occur in his own life, attributing them to bad luck, the economy, others, the boss, a company, fate, etc. Which greatly reduces the chance of success, but one protected from frustration favor staying in the comfort zone without wasting energy to make the necessary changes to achieve favorable results.
