TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - The importance of dark personality traits in predicting workplace outcomes JO - Personality and individual differences A1 - Szabó, Zsolt Péter A1 - Simon, Evelin A1 - Czibor, Andrea A1 - Restás, Péter A1 - Bereczkei, Tamas SP - e111112 EP - e111112 VL - 183 IS - N2 - The present study examined the incremental validity of dark personality traits (DT) in predicting workplace outcomes beyond the predictive power of HEXACO model of personality. A sample of 350 Hungarian working adults completed self-report measures of the DT, HEXACO model of personality, and workplace outcomes such as organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), counterproductive work behavior (CWB), turnover intention, and work-related corruption intention. The results showed that the DT traits counted for measurable unique variance in CWB and work-related corruption intention but not in OCB and turnover intention. More specifically, subclinical psychopathy predicted both CWB and corruption intention, while Machiavellianism predicted corruption intention. Subclinical narcissism was unrelated to the outcome variables. These unique variances beyond the HEXACO model of personality were generally small.
