Abstract

With the dramatic shifts in the workforce that have emerged in the post-COVID-19 world, workers' emotions have often presented very negatively, causing people to overtly display the dark aspects of their personality while at work. At the same time, organizations have been forced to adopt new technologies to fill the gaps in their desired outcomes and cope with changes in market demand. The ensuing clash between negative emotions and technological implementation may lead to intense conflicts and adverse work outcomes. This study hypothesizes a direct relationship between dark personality traits (narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy) and technology acceptance. Using a multiple regression model with a sample of general workers from various industries (n = 396), the study found that narcissism and psychopathy significantly impacted technology acceptance, while Machiavellianism did not. The findings offer valuable theoretical, practical, and managerial insights.

技术接受黑暗面的故事：黑暗的三位一体与技术接受模式

随着covid -19后世界出现的劳动力急剧变化，工人的情绪往往表现得非常消极，导致人们在工作中公开表现出个性的阴暗面。与此同时，组织被迫采用新技术来填补预期结果的空白，并应对市场需求的变化。随之而来的负面情绪和技术实施之间的冲突可能导致激烈的冲突和不利的工作结果。这项研究假设黑暗人格特征（自恋、马基雅维利主义和精神病）与技术接受度之间存在直接关系。通过对来自不同行业的普通员工（n = 396）的多元回归模型，研究发现自恋和精神病显著影响技术接受度，而马基雅维利主义则没有影响。这些发现提供了有价值的理论、实践和管理见解。

期刊介绍： Employee Responsibilities and Rights Journal fosters development of the field of employee relations by presenting high-quality, peer-reviewed original research articles and by linking practitioner concerns involving the employment relationship with academic rigor. The journal is interdisciplinary in focus, drawing from a broad range of disciplines including ethics, organizational behavior, law, economics, sociology, social psychology, industrial and employment relations, administrative and organizational studies, and philosophy to further the understanding of both employee responsibilities and rights. The journal offers an international forum for the publication of scholarly peer-reviewed original research including qualitative and quantitative empirical studies, case studies, critical commentaries, and conceptual and dialectic presentations. In addition, Employee Responsibilities and Rights Journal publishes a Perspectives Section that showcases important contributions in formats other than the traditional research article. Such contributions include symposia/roundtable discussions, commentaries, review essays, interviews, and book reviews.
