Abstract
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to create and validate a short workplace-specific measure of the Dark Tetrad (i.e., narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and sadism) that could be used by researchers, practitioners, and organizations. In Study 1, a two-wave longitudinal design (T1: N = 416; T2: N = 209) was used to develop and evaluate a 22-item scale that assessed the four dimensions. Each scale trait was positively associated with, and predicted, workplace deviance. The factor structure of the scale was replicated in a second sample (N = 289). These results have implications for developing new research on the Dark Tetrad in the workplace.
摘要:本研究的目的是创建并验证一种工作场所特定的黑暗四人格(即自恋、马基雅维利主义、精神病和虐待狂)的简短测量方法,供研究人员、从业人员和组织使用。在研究1中,两波纵向设计(T1: N = 416;T2: N = 209)用于开发和评估一个22个项目的量表,评估四个维度。每个量表特征都与工作偏差呈正相关,并预测了工作偏差。量表的因子结构在第二个样本(N = 289)中重复。这些结果对开展工作场所黑暗四分体的新研究具有启示意义。
期刊介绍:
Human Performance publishes research investigating the nature and role of performance in the workplace and in organizational settings and offers a rich variety of information going beyond the study of traditional job behavior. Dedicated to presenting original research, theory, and measurement methods, the journal investigates individual, team, and firm level performance factors that influence work and organizational effectiveness. Human Performance is a respected forum for behavioral scientists interested in variables that motivate and promote high-level human performance, particularly in organizational and occupational settings. The journal seeks to identify and stimulate relevant research, communication, and theory concerning human capabilities and effectiveness. It serves as a valuable intellectual link between such disciplines as industrial-organizational psychology, individual differences, work physiology, organizational behavior, human resource management, and human factors.
