This study aimed at investigating the relationship between Salutogenic constructs
(Sense of Coherence, Locus of Control and Self-Efficacy) and Interpersonal Styles.
In addition it sets out to examine whether there are any differences between both
aforementioned variables and selected individual and organisational variables,
specifically, gender, race, age and tenure. A significant positive relationship was
found to exist between Salutogenic constructs and Interpersonal Styles classified as
Friendly, while significant negative relationships were found between Salutogenic
constructs and Interpersonal Styles classified as Hostile and Hostile-Submissive.
Salutogenic constructs were found to have no significant relationships with the
remaining five Interpersonal Styles namely Dominant, Dominant-Friendly, FriendlySubmissive,
Submissive and Hostile-Dominant. Salutogenic constructs showed no
significant differences with regards gender and race, but significant differences with
regards age and tenure. Interpersonal Style showed significant differences with
regard to race, age and tenure, but not with gender with the exception of the Hostile-Submissive,
Hostile and Friendly styles / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / M.A. (Industrial and Organisational Psychology)
