Is Mary's performance due to internal or external causes? Explain how you come to this conclusion.

The case of Mary Martin Mary Martin, 30, received her bachelor degree in computer science from a reputable state university in Midwest. She also graduated with above-average grades.

She seems unmotivated and rarely has her assignments completed on time. Mary is usually given the harder programs to work on.

Her co-workers, however, finish the same "major problem" assignments, on the average, in about 100 hours. When Mary has worked in programming teams, her peer performance reviews are generally average to negative. Her male peers have noted she is not creative in attacking problems and she is difficult to work with.
