The degree to which people perceive they have control over their environment is called:

D
How people perceive that they have control over their environment is referred to as environmental control (Poole, Davidhizar, & Giger, 1995). There are two types of environmental control. The first type of perceived control is an internal locus of control, by which the individual relies upon inner (internal) resources to handle stimuli from the environment. The second type of perceived control is an external locus of control. In this type of perceived control, the individual relies more upon external sources such as luck, fate, or chance rather than internal abilities to control what is experienced from the environment.
