Abstract

Maintaining harmony in social relations, a fundamental value of a collective society, is completely opposed to the dark personality traits that are egocentric and antisocial. This fact has an impact on criticism and increased social pressure for individuals with dark personalities in a collective society, as well as on objective and subjective success. This cross-sectional study was conducted to elucidate the impact of dark personalities on success in a collective society. The results (N = 522) revealed that dark personality traits, particularly narcissism, were the most consistent traits in predicting subjective career success in participants with (n = 273) or without managerial positions (n = 249). Furthermore, participants with and without managerial positions showed no difference in subjective career success. The findings are expected to provide reliable information on the influence of dark personalities on success in a collective society. Keywords: dark personality, narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, career success

Abstract

This study examined the mediating role of trust in leader in the relationship between leader and member Machiavellianism and work engagement within student organizations. A cross-sectional correlational survey design was employed involving 150 students actively engaged in organizational activities. Data were collected using the MACH-IV Scale, the Trust in Leader Scale, and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9). The hypotheses were tested using General Linear Model mediation analysis. The findings revealed that trust in leader was positively associated with work engagement (B = 0.25857, p < .001). Mediation analysis further demonstrated that leader Machiavellianism exerted a significant negative indirect effect on work engagement through trust in leader (B = -0.153, 95% CI [-0.2859, -0.0209]). Interestingly, member Machiavellianism showed a significant positive direct effect on work engagement (B = 0.30167, p < .001). These findings underscore the critical role of trust in leadership in fostering organizational engagement. At the same time, the results suggest that highly Machiavellian members may remain actively engaged for instrumental or strategic purposes. This study contributes to the emerging literature on dark personality traits and organizational behavior by highlighting the complex dynamics between leadership trust, Machiavellian tendencies, and engagement in student organizational contexts.
