Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between dark triad personality (DTP) and organizational and individual counterproductive work behaviors (CWB) and perceived career success among employees in Turkey. Additionally, the study examined the effects of four situational variables: perceived organizational politics, transparency, psychological contract breach, and accountability.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from 156 employees across five service organizations in Sakarya, Turkey, using the survey method.FindingsThe regression analysis findings showed that the three traits of the DTP, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy were significantly related to both organizational and interpersonal dimensions of the CWB. Narcissism was not related to any of the dimensions of CWB. The findings showed no significant relationship between any of the four situational variables and the two forms of CWB. However, three of the situational variables were related to perceived career success, while the three dimensions of DTP were not.Research limitations/implicationsThe main limitations of this study are its cross-sectional design and the self-reported measures of the dependent variables. Interestingly, the study showed that having high levels of DTP does not necessarily promote their careers.Originality/valueThis study contributes to examining career success as a dependent variable in addition to CWB. The findings showed that situational variables are related to career success, and DTP is related to CWB. This finding has both conceptual and practical implications.

土耳其员工的黑暗三元和情境变量及其与职业成功和反效果工作行为的关系

目的本文旨在研究土耳其员工的黑暗三元人格（DTP）与组织和个人反作用工作行为（CWB）以及职业成功感之间的关系。此外，该研究还考察了四个情境变量的影响：感知的组织政治、透明度、心理契约违背和问责制。设计/方法/方法使用调查方法从土耳其萨卡里亚五个服务组织的156名员工中收集数据。结果回归分析结果表明，DTP、马基雅维利主义和精神变态这三个特征与CWB的组织维度和人际维度均显著相关。自恋与CWB的任何维度都无关。研究结果显示，四个情境变量中的任何一个与两种形式的CWB之间都没有显著关系。然而，其中三个情境变量与感知的职业成功有关，而DTP的三个维度则不然。研究局限性/含义本研究的主要局限性是其横断面设计和因变量的自我报告测量。有趣的是，研究表明，拥有高水平的DTP并不一定能促进他们的职业生涯。独创性/价值这项研究有助于将职业成功作为CWB之外的一个因变量进行考察。研究结果表明，情境变量与职业成功有关，DTP与CWB有关。这一发现具有概念和实际意义。
