Vaishali Choudhary1, Shadab Ahmad Ansari2

Abstract:

This article offers a directive analysis of research highlighting the organizational outcomes and individualized repercussions linked with Dark traits characterised personnel. This study aims to: (a) analyse and compare positive and negative outcomes of the dark triad to answer, “Are DT traits an asset or liability in the workplace”; (b) identify moderating variables of  DT in organizational settings. Systematic reviewing of articles published between 2002-2022 was done under PRISMA guidelines. SCOPUS, Wiley online library, JSTOR and Mendeley search database and a combination of relevant keywords aided in the search of selected articles. Key findings from 50 papers were, (a) DT outcomes can be categorized into two domains namely organisational and interpersonal outcomes; (b) the relationship between aversive consequences and dark traits is moderated by a variety of organizational aspects. Dark triad traits are a liability in the workplace but, organizations can manage its aversive consequences by actively managing moderators of DT which are exclusively rooted within organizational settings.

Keywords: dark triad traits, workplace, moderators, counterproductive work behaviour, interpersonal consequences, organizational outcomes, organizational psychology.
