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

这项研究的目的是创建和验证针对工作场所的暗黑四合会的一种简短量度（即自恋，马基雅维利主义，精神病和虐待狂），研究人员，从业人员和组织均可使用。在研究1中，使用了两波纵向设计（T1：N = 416; T2：N = 209）来开发和评估22个项目的规模，以评估这四个方面。每个量表特征都与工作场所的偏差成正相关，并可以预测。量表的因子结构在第二个样本中重复（N = 289）。这些结果对在工作场所开展有关“暗黑四合彩”的新研究具有启示意义。
