description The present research has been carried out with the purpose of investigating the relationship between managers' locus of control and the job motivation of the staff of East Azarbaijan Islamic Azad Universities during the years 88-89 (2009-2010). The statistical population consists of 22 branches of Islamic Azad University throughout East Azarbaijan Province including all the branches of region 13 of Islamic Azad University. Within these branches the total number of administrative managers and deputies was 121, and the total number of the female and male staff working under these managers was 2150. Sampling was done using Morgan's sampling formula, according to which the sample size of managers was 93 and that of the staff was 326. The research method is correlational. In order to test the hypotheses, Pearson’s correlation coefficient and Qui square (X2) were used. The data analysis was corried out through the use of descriptive and inferential statistics and by using SPSS software. The findings indicate that if the managers of the organizations have internal locus of control, they will have a more positive effect on their personnel. Furthermore, due to the inverse relationship between the managers’ external locus of control and the staff’s job motivation, the more a manager has external locus of control and behaves according to it in the organization, the more his staff’s job motivation will decrease.
