The Dark Triad personality traits measure: approbation of the Dirty Dozen Questionnaire

The aim of the present study was to verify the relationship of three aversive personality traits - Machiavellianism, narcissism and psychopathy, nowadays known by experts as the Dark Triad and burnout syndrome on the sample of vocational technical subject teachers. The study was carried out on a sample of 241 participants (Mage = 44.53; SD = 10.29). Females represented 75.1% of all respondents (Mage = 44.48; SD = 10.02), males represented the remaining 24.9% of respondents (Mage = 42.36; SD = 11.8). The Slovak version of Short Dark Triad - SD3 and the adapted Slovak version of Maslach Burnout Inventory - HSS on the sample of helping professionals were administered. Significant positive relations of the Dark Triad traits with emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal satisfaction were identified. Regression analysis indicated the Dark Triad as a significant predictor of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, psychopathy was the most significant predictor. The Dark Triad concept predicted 58% of burnout syndrome’s variance.

Narcissism in Organizational Contexts: Do You Want Narcissists in Your Workplace?

Taking into account the main objective of any organization engaged in retail, sales and provision of services there are high expectations towards the personal skills and professional competence level of a sales manager. The functional responsibilities of a sales manager suggest an ambition to be active, flexible, take responsibility for own decisions, be able to take risks, and make a positive impression on clients. Previous studies revealed that a certain combination of negative personality traits that make up the Dark Triad complex allows to actively attract customers and contributes to closing high-value profitable deals. It was noted that eagerness to achieve professional success, typical for the individuals affected by the Dark Triad complex, allows them to control their behavior and compensate for the complex’s negative manifestations in behavior and communication. This ability is associated with self-monitoring factors. Recent studies have identified certain career benefits available for these individuals. It was suggested that examination of negative personality traits of managers is essential for predicting the results of their professional activities. In the current study, an empirical evaluation of the assumption was made regarding how self-monitoring is associated with negative personality traits among sales managers. It was demonstrated that the distribution of the levels of negative personality traits among sales managers with different self-monitoring levels is not random.

Procrastination is a complex, psychologically heterogeneous phenomenon that includes behavioural, emotional and cognitive components. The main areas of manifestation of procrastination are professional and educational activities. Academic procrastination implies a delay in the fulfilment of educational assignments and is associated with undeveloped learning skills, lack of organization, forgetfulness, and behavioural rigidity. The consequence of this behaviour in most cases is the decrease in academic achievement, negative emotional experiences related to own failure, anxiety, and dissatisfaction with the results. Procrastination negatively affects the psychological well-being of students; therefore, this phenomenon is of special interest in the context of future specialists training. Available data demonstrate that 46 % to 95 % of secondary school pupils and higher educational institution students consider themselves to be procrastinators requiring professional psychological help. The study aimed to reveal the links between academic procrastination and anxiety among students. The participants in this study were 60 second year students of the Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies, Faculty of Engineering, aged 20-27. The Procrastination Scale was used to measure academic procrastination; State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (Form Y) was implemented to investigate anxiety. The study revealed that 48 % of the participants demonstrated a high level of academic procrastination, 27 % – medium and 25 % – low. The link between academic procrastination and situational and personal anxiety was revealed. The obtained data showed that with the situational and personal anxiety increase, the level of academic procrastination also increases. The development of recommendations, balanced workload distribution and an encouraging learning environment will reduce the level of academic procrastination among students.

Within the communicative competence of a high school teacher, there are distinguished such skills as an ability to engage pupils in communication and make a favourable impression (self-presentation skill). High school teachers have to be able to demonstrate attractive features of own personality, show themselves as successful professionals. Thus, the requirement to create a positive impression of oneself, to have developed empathy and a high level of self-monitoring is emphasized. As a result of the research, a protective-nature change in the behaviour of middle-aged teachers has been revealed. It is noted that these manifestations in many respects resemble descriptions of the manifestation of negative personality traits included in the construct of the “Dark Triad”. In this study, a theoretical analysis of the current understanding of the concepts of the “Dark Triad” and self-monitoring is provided, as well as an empirical study of the “Dark Triad” negative personality traits relation to self-monitoring among high school teachers. The examined variables refer to personality constructs. The study revealed a statistically significant correlation between self-monitoring and negative personality traits among high school teachers, which is explained theoretically by the manifestations of the characteristic features of the components of negative traits, including high self-monitoring level. Statistically significant correlations between machiavellianism and self-monitoring, as well as between narcissism, psychopathy, and self-monitoring were revealed. The study reveals a tendency to high levels of expression of all three “Dark Triad” personality traits as well as of self-monitoring, which is explained by the age peculiarities and specifics of high school teachers’ professional activity.
