“…Psychopathy, characterized by a lack of empathy, may contribute to toxic interpersonal relationships and a negative work environment, increasing TOIs. Baheer et al (2023) concluded that machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy increase TOIs in parallel with this finding, and psychopathy among these variables leads to the highest TOIs. In another study conducted by Ma, Born, Petrou, and Bakker (2021), a positive relationship was found between machiavellianism and psychopathy and TOI.…”

“…As a general consequence of job dissatisfaction, TOI is expected to emerge. On the other hand, recent studies by Yılmazer, Karagöz, Uzunbacak, and Akçakanat (2021), Zarei, Eshghi, andFooladvand (2021), andBaheer, Khan, Rafiq, andRashid (2023) consistently demonstrate that individuals with DTC, exhibit a higher likelihood of TOI. These studies reveal a positive relationship between the DTC and the intention to leave one's current organization, indicating that individuals displaying these traits are more prone to considering job transitions due to lower job satisfaction levels.…”

“…However, few studies have provided insights into the connection between the negative facets of personality and TOI. (Zhuang, Wu, Wang and Huan, 2022;Baheer, Khan, Rafiq and Rashid, 2023). DTC is widely recognized as the most popular definition of the dark side of personality in literature.…”

The study aimed to examine the mediating role of organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB) in the relationship between the dark triad (DTC) and intention to leave (TOI). A sample of 412 employees, with a minimum of five years of experience, were selected from various sectors in Turkey. Participants completed self-report measures and data analyzed with SPSS 26.00 and Smart PLS 4. The results revealed significant positive effects of DTC on TOI. On the other hand, OCB demonstrated a negative effect on TOI. Furthermore, DTC hurt OCB. The mediation analysis demonstrated that OCB played a significant mediating role in reducing the effect of the DTC on TOI. The findings underscore the detrimental influence of DTC on TOI among employees across diverse sectors in Turkey, emphasizing the importance of fostering OCB as a means to mitigate the negative consequences of DTC on TOI.

“…A cross-sectional study strategy examines variables at a single point in time without adjusting or modifying the independent variable (Busuioc and Butucescu 2020). We chose a sample size of 560 (i.e., 56 × 10) using the sample-to-item ratio theory and the criterion of 10 replies against each question (Baheer et al 2023;Ben Ltaifa et al 2024). Thus, a total of 560 answers were obtained from various hotel staff positions throughout 20 four-and five-star hotels in Jordan.…”

The Dark Triad Personality Traits - psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism - have a significant impact on workplace dynamics. Psychopathy involves egoistic and disappointing interpersonal contact; Machiavellianism involves devious communication strategies; and narcissists use harmful tactics to gain attention and dominate teams. This study investigates the linking of DTPTs with work outcomes in the context of Jordan's hospitality sector. With the use of a standardised questionnaire, 387 hotel staff members provided quantitative data. SPSS was used to test the proposed hypotheses. Findings demonstrated that, whereas DTPTs had no effect on OCB, they do positively influence JB and TI. These results have significant theoretical and practical implications for Jordan hotels. The study recommends that to combat DTPTs in hotels, proactive measures like thorough hiring processes, investing in training programmes, and establishing clear organisational values can help. These measures can identify potential traits, foster a positive work culture, and discourage behaviours aligned with DTPTs, ultimately improving overall staff satisfaction, reducing turnover, and increasing JB.

Early maladaptive schemas (EMS) may contribute to the Dark Triad’s (i.e., Machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy) dysfunctional workplace outcomes. EMS — the core concept of Schema Therapy — are entrenched emotional, cognitive, memories, and physiological patterns that form during early life in response to unmet needs and elaborate throughout life. As the workplace can involve hierarchy and power, EMS may be potentially reinforced in this context. This novel study aimed to explore the relationships between EMS and the Dark Triad facets within a working sample. The study also examined whether the Dark Triad facets yield distinct relationships with EMSs. The sample (N = 210) reported working ≥ 20 h per week in paid- or full-time role in private and public sectors. Participants completed an online self-report survey comprising the Young Schema Questionnaire Short Form-Third Edition, Five Factor Narcissism Inventory-Short Form (Antagonism and Extraversion facets), Five Factor Machiavellianism Inventory (Planfulness, Antagonism and Agency facets), and Corporate Psychopathy Inventory-Revised (Boldness, Ruthlessness, and Interpersonal Dominance facets). Zero-order correlations indicated that all Dark Triad facets significantly and positively correlated with the Entitlement/Grandiosity, Unrelenting Standards, and Punitiveness EMSs. Most Dark Triad facets positively correlated with Approval/Recognition Seeking and Mistrust/Abuse EMSs. The Entitlement/Grandiosity EMS demonstrated the strongest positive correlation with most Dark Triad facets. The results suggest that those with elevated Dark Triad traits in the working sample share a similar cognitive and emotional worldview (i.e., EMS) that may activate in the workplace context. Expanding this research could inform a ‘Dark’ Schema Workplace model and Schema Therapy interventions to potentially reduce the Dark Triad’s dysfunctional workplace outcomes.
