“…According to Mudrack (1993, as cited in Carter et al, 2015, individuals low in Machiavellianism pay more attention to morality in their surroundings, leading them to avoid unethical behavior. Nuzulia and Why (2020) state that individuals with Machiavellian tendencies often exhibit a positive impression to gain trust from others, implying that being friendly and helpful is an initial attitude to create a positive self-image. Sun Tzu (as cited in Hutomo, 2016) emphasizes that Machiavellians need trust from those around them by building a good reputation socially and forming alliances with powerful individuals.…”

“…Their tendency to deceive, lie, and betray does not necessarily make individuals with Machiavellianism exhibit highly negative antisocial attitudes (Jones & Paulhus, 2014). However, the positive aspects of Machiavellian individuals are often accompanied by dangerous interpersonal behaviors that ultimately damage relationships with colleagues (Nuzulia & Why, 2020). Therefore, even though there are positive aspects to the Machiavellian trait, potentially harmful characteristics are still employed as tactics to achieve goals.…”

Machiavellianism is one of the traits incorporated in the dark triad personality. The portrayal of individuals with Machiavellianism is manipulative, prioritizing personal interests, to look down on others. Studies on the manifestations of Machiavellianism personality behavior in Indonesia have never been conducted, information about it is widely obtained from studies that take a sample of populations in countries that grow up in individualist cultures. While Indonesia itself is a country that grows in a collective culture with the habits of its people tend to depend on each other and prioritize their groups. Thus, the form of manifestation of Machiavellianism behavior in collective culture is thought to appear in line with collective values. This study aims to determine the manifestations of dark personality behavior of machiavellianism in Indonesian workers with a collective cultural background. In this study using an indigenous psychology approach with a quantitative descriptive research design. The application of quota sampling technique was used involving 760 respondents.

“…Therefore, this conception of leadership assumes that it is those special attributes of leaders (generally men) that result in them being followed by the masses. Over time, this perspective, with its focus on charisma, has included research that in one way or another recurs to personality as a fundamental explanation of the whys and wherefores of leadership [4][5][6][7]. Specifically, the personality of leaders has been described as characterized predominantly by extraversion, conscientiousness, and openness to experience [5].…”

In heroism, leadership research has a myth that provides the basis for a deeper exploration of the characteristics of the unconscious (collective, personal) and consciousness of leaders—characteristics that can mobilize their followers. This contribution goes on to show that heroism can provide a foundation that foments the creativity of women leaders—from a sustainable standpoint—with the purpose of jointly analyzing aspects of the collective unconscious (heroism), the personal unconscious (psychological typology), and consciousness (self-descriptions, values) in a sample of women emerging as leaders. The participants in the study were 34 students following a Master’s program oriented towards training future CEOs as leaders, aged between 22 and 38 years old (M = 27.22 years old; SD = 3.77). The instruments consisted of a story that each participant wrote about herself as the main heroine; the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI); the Twenty-Statement Test (TST); and a questionnaire on personal values. The main results show the common structure of the stories of personal heroism, as well as the characteristics (unconscious, conscious, personal, and collective) that can serve to foster the sustainable use of personal creativity. The research carried out provides knowledge that may be integrated into other perspectives of leadership analysis.

“…Thus, if one believes in exploiting others and ignoring the law in the best way, he feels this is the way of successful persons, such as ethical leaders, so he applies similar procedures for achieving his goals (21). But some studies (48) provide consistent evidence that narcissism is a significant positive factor in both leadership role occupancy and hiring decision in a collectivist culture. Since narcissists are negative-oriented persons, so they do not assume their leaders as ethical persons.…”

Background: Management personality is one of the critical factors influencing their behavior in performing earnings management (EM). As a result, the dark (negative) personality dimensions can play an effective role in earnings management. On the other hand, ethical leadership can act as a moderating factor; this research measures the effect of ethical leadership style on reducing dark personality dimensions (Machiavellianism, psychopathy, narcissism) of effective person in earnings management. Method: The present applied research uses descriptive-survey method and the correlation approach. The statistical population of this study is companies listed in the Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) and Iran Fara Bourse (IFB) from 2011 to 2019 and based on some limitations 77 companies used in this research for testing the hypotheses. And standard questionnaires of dark personality and ethical leadership and financial statement data have been used. Also, the multiple regression test and structural equations model used. the data were analyzed using R 3.1.2 and Lisrel 8.8 software. Results: The results show that most of the effective persons in earnings management are the CEOs of companies. The results also indicate a positive relationship between ethical leadership and dark personality dimensions (Machiavellianism, psychopathy, narcissism). Conclusion:The results indicate a positive relationship between ethical leadership and the dimensions of the dark personality; This is due to the closeness of dimension of "Narcissism" to the issues of intrinsic leadership, and on the other hand, this issue could be considered close to the perspective of the person involved in earnings management and supervisors and lack of belief in ethical supervision and leadership.
