“…The finding is consistent with previous studies that males have higher levels of moral disengagement and classroom incivility than females (Caprara et al, 2014; Spadafora & Volk, 2021; Wang, Ryoo, et al, 2017). The probable reason is that female adolescents have more moral emotions (e.g., guilt and empathy) and greater effortful control to limit their engagement in classroom incivility than male adolescents (Georgiou et al, 2021; Turhan et al, 2019). Similarly, multigroup analyses also showed that early and middle adolescents have different mechanisms underlying the mediation model.…”

“…Some studies suggested females had more positive teacher–student relationships than males (Wu & Hughes, 2015; Zee & Koomen, 2017) while others showed no sex differences (Marsh et al, 2008; Raufelder et al, 2016). Third, the association between moral disengagement and adolescents' bullying behavior is moderated by sex (Georgiou et al, 2021; Travlos et al, 2018). With respect to age, the quality of teacher–student relationships declines as adolescents get older (Bokhorst et al, 2010; Wu & Hughes, 2015).…”

The current study examined whether moral disengagement would mediate the association between adolescents' teacher–student relationships and classroom incivility and sex and age differences in this mediation model. We also examined whether the mediating effect of moral disengagement would be moderated by negative coping styles. Participants comprised 2646 Chinese students (mean age = 13.85 years, SD = 1.45). Results indicated that teacher–student relationships were significantly and negatively associated with adolescents' classroom incivility and moral disengagement mediated this association. Furthermore, this mediating process differed between males and females as well as early and middle adolescents. Specifically, males were more likely to use moral disengagement strategies to engage in classroom incivility than females. Age moderated the association between teacher–student relationships and moral disengagement as well as moral disengagement and classroom incivility, and these two associations became stronger for early adolescents than for middle adolescents. Moreover, negative coping styles moderated the association between teacher–student relationships and classroom incivility and the association between moral disengagement and classroom incivility. The direct association between teacher–student relationships and classroom incivility became nonsignificant for adolescents with high negative coping styles. The study contributes to clarifying the mediating and moderating mechanisms underlying the effect of teacher–student relationships on adolescents' classroom incivility.

“…Indeed, when looking at the influence of personality traits on MD, the DT has been found to have a positive effect – thus, the DT increases MD – according to psychological science research (Paulhus and Williams, 2002). In particular, previous research has looked into the empirical connections between MD and DT traits, advocating that these traits may be differentially linked to MD and subsequently to the antisocial behavior (Georgiou et al , 2021). Numerous studies have explored the connection between MD and engagement in bullying as a target, offender and witness (Runions et al , 2019).…”

Purpose How do dark personality traits impact workplace bullying (WB)? How can organizations mitigate it? This study aims to explore the relationship between the Dark Tetrad (DT) (narcissism, psychopathy [PY], Machiavellianism and sadism [SM]) and WB, proposing the mediation role of moral disengagement (MD) and the moderation role of emotional stability (ES). Design/methodology/approach The proposed mediated-moderation model was tested on 404 employees working in the hospitality sector in Pakistan. Data have been analyzed through regression analysis and PROCESS macros to test the study’s hypotheses. Findings PY, Machiavellianism and SM positively relate to WB and MD mediates this relationship. A high level of ES reduces the intensity of the mediated influence of PY, Machiavellianism and SM on WB. Practical implications Developing targeted policies and practices (e.g. personality tests to build a good psychological architecture of the firm) and reviewing processes that support the moral justification of antisocial conduct can be beneficial for limiting WB. In addition, meditation, mindfulness training and supporting trust and cooperation within organizations can increase the mitigating effect of ES and, in turn, reduce WB. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study that explicitly verifies a mediated-moderation model on DT-WB while proposing a further explanation (i.e. mediation of MD) and a novel solution (i.e., moderation by ES).
