In past years, research and corporate scandals have evidenced the destructive effects of the dark triad at work, consisting of narcissism (extreme self-centeredness), psychopathy (lack of empathy and remorse) and Machiavellianism (a sense of duplicity and manipulativeness). The dark triad dimensions have typically been conceptualized as stable personality traits, ignoring the accumulating evidence that momentary personality expressions - personality - may change due to the characteristics of the situation. The present research protocol describes a qualitative study that aims to identify triggers of dark triad at work by following a grounded theory approach using semi-structured interviews. By building a comprehensive categorization of dark triad triggers at work scholars may study these triggers in a parsimonious and structured way and organizations may derive more effective interventions to buffer or prevent the detrimental effects of dark personality at work.
在过去几年里，研究和企业丑闻已证明了职场中黑暗三性格（由自恋（极端以自我为中心）、心理变态（缺乏同理心和悔恨）和马基雅维利主义（表里不一和操控欲）构成）的破坏作用。黑暗三性格维度通常被概念化为稳定的人格特质，却忽略了越来越多的证据表明，瞬间的人格表现——即状态性人格——可能会因情境特征而改变。本研究方案描述了一项定性研究，旨在通过采用半结构化访谈的扎根理论方法来识别职场中黑暗三性格的触发因素。通过构建职场黑暗三性格触发因素的全面分类，学者们可以以一种简洁且结构化的方式研究这些触发因素，而组织则可以制定更有效的干预措施，以缓冲或防止职场中黑暗人格的有害影响。
