Vilka Attityder har personer med Mörka Personlighetsdrag gentemot Etiska Företagspolicies?

Sammanfattning: This study investigated the relationship between the three personality traits of the Dark Triad (Machiavellianism, Narcissism and Psychopathy) and attitudes towards ethical company policies. 114 participants took part in an online survey, measuring the Dark Triad and seven policy-questions. The participants with the highest scores on the Dark Triad (upper 30 percent) was compared to the participants with the lowest scores (lower 30 percent). The hypothesis was that there would be a difference between the groups concerning their attitudes towards the policy-questions, and that the group with the highest score on the Dark Triad would have a lower score on both the separate policy-questions and an index with all the policies combined. The results supported the hypothesis in that the group with the higher scores had a lower score on the policy-index and on all separate policy-questions except one. This indicated that people with a high degree of dark personality traits overall had a more negative attitude towards ethical company policies. Furthermore this study had an explorative approach investigating correlations between the three dimensions of the Dark Triad and attitudes towards specific policy-questions. The results showed that there were several significant correlations, but that the dimensions correlated differently with the policy-questions. The expectation was that the results of this study could be used in further research on the relationship between the Dark Triad and ethical company policies in recruitment contexts.
