perceived control

Explanation:

Perceived control has important effects on people's physical and mental health as well as on workers' behavior. The effects of perceived control on worker behavior have been studied for many years and have shown concrete results in how satisfaction influences health.

Perceived control is an individual's belief about the amount of control available in a situation. When the individual feels that he can have some control over his environment, that individual can achieve sufficient levels of satisfaction that have the power to cause less stress and consequently good health.

Without perceived control, workers in lower status positions are much more likely to develop heart disease than those in high-status jobs. This is because these workers feel that they do not have control over their future over their working life.
