The goal of this study was to examine the relationship between the dark triad personality (DTP) and organizational and individual counterproductive work behaviors (CWBs), based on the argument that situational variables mediate this relationship. The data were collected at Beijing Children's Hospital, the largest children's hospital in China. Paper and pencil questionnaires were distributed to 200 randomly selected physicians, of whom 168 responded, an 84% response rate. The findings of regression analysis and mediation analysis show a strong relationship between the DTP and CWBs. Of the three traits of the DTP, Machiavellianism was significantly related to both dimensions of CWBs, organizational and interpersonal. The findings also show that the relationship examined here was affected by mediators, particularly organizational commitment and organizational justice, emphasizing the effect of the environment on the behavior of dark personalities. The environment, represented by the mediators, had no effect on narcissists' CWB, and psychological contract breach was the only mediator found to have no mediating effect. The paper concludes with suggestions and recommendations for future research, in particular in different settings.
本研究的目的是基于情境变量介导这种关系的观点，探讨黑暗三性格（DTP）与组织及个体反生产工作行为（CWB）之间的关系。数据收集于中国最大的儿童医院——北京儿童医院。向200名随机抽取的医生发放了纸笔问卷，其中168人回复，回复率为84%。回归分析和中介分析的结果表明DTP与CWB之间存在密切关系。在DTP的三个特质中，权谋主义与CWB的两个维度（组织维度和人际维度）均显著相关。研究结果还表明，此处所考察的关系受到中介变量的影响，尤其是组织承诺和组织公正，这强调了环境对黑暗性格行为的影响。由中介变量所代表的环境对自恋者的CWB没有影响，并且心理契约违背是唯一被发现没有中介作用的中介变量。本文最后针对未来研究，特别是在不同情境下的研究，提出了建议。
