Abstract

Prior studies on the dark side of the organisation tend to overlook some important mediator(s) in the relationship between the dark triad personalities (D.T.P.s) and counterproductive work behaviour (C.W.B.). Hence, this study examines the multiple-mediation model by incorporating perceived organisational politics and perceived accountability in the relationship between D.T.P.s and C.W.B. The sample of 290 employees is selected through a random sampling technique from the hospitality industry. Partial least squares structural equation modelling (P.L.S.-S.E.M.) and bootstrapping are employed to examine the multiple-mediation model. The results show that perceived organisational politics and perceived accountability mediate the association of the D.T.P.s and C.W.B. Our findings provide policymakers with a vision into the existence of the D.T.P.s and their potential consequences for C.W.B. This study encourages decision-makers and practitioners to develop an ethical climate, job standards, and systems of accountability to achieve productive goals.

摘要

先前有关组织黑暗面的研究倾向于忽略一些重要的调解人，这些人在黑暗黑社会人物（DTP）与适得其反的工作行为（CWB）之间的关系中。因此，本研究通过在DTP与CWB之间的关系中纳入组织的政治意识和问责制，研究了多种中介模式。290名员工的样本是通过酒店业的随机抽样技术选出的。采用偏最小二乘结构方程模型（PLS-SEM）和自举法研究了多元中介模型。结果表明，感知的组织政治和问责制介导了DTP和CWB的联系。我们的发现为决策者提供了DTP存在的愿景。
