Abstract
The present study investigated how triarchic psychopathy domains are related to self-rated organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and whether job attitudes, such as job satisfaction and affective commitment, mediate these relationships. Results from a sample of 434 employees indicated that OCB was positively correlated with boldness, negatively with meanness, and uncorrelated with disinhibition. Structural equation modeling (SEM) demonstrated that job satisfaction and affective commitment were positively predicted by boldness and negatively by meanness. In addition, disinhibition positively predicted affective commitment. With regard to job attitudes–OCB associations, only affective commitment significantly positively predicted OCB, suggesting its mediating role in the relationships between psychopathy dimensions and OCB. These findings contribute to the literature on the underpinnings of behavioral manifestations of psychopathy in the organizational context by proposing the potential attitudinal mechanism underlying the relationships between triarchic psychopathy domains and OCB.
