Abstract

Prior studies on the dark side of the organisation tend to overlook some important mediator(s) in the relationship between the dark triad personalities (D.T.P.s) and counterproductive work behaviour (C.W.B.). Hence, this study examines the multiple-mediation model by incorporating perceived organisational politics and perceived accountability in the relationship between D.T.P.s and C.W.B. The sample of 290 employees is selected through a random sampling technique from the hospitality industry. Partial least squares structural equation modelling (P.L.S.-S.E.M.) and bootstrapping are employed to examine the multiple-mediation model. The results show that perceived organisational politics and perceived accountability mediate the association of the D.T.P.s and C.W.B. Our findings provide policymakers with a vision into the existence of the D.T.P.s and their potential consequences for C.W.B. This study encourages decision-makers and practitioners to develop an ethical climate, job standards, and systems of accountability to achieve productive goals.
