Abstract

Corporate Psychopaths are widely associated with parasitic behaviour in the workplace, claiming others’ work as their own, playing employee groups off against each other and neglecting their own work duties (Babiak 1995). It is logical, therefore, that if greater amounts of such disruption are associated with the presence of psychopathic behaviour, this will cause greater workloads to be experienced than would otherwise be the case because the disruptions take time away from productive work (Raver & Gelfand 2005). This idea led to the hypothesis in the research that employees who work in workplaces where managers are perceived to demonstrate the traits associated with being Corporate Psychopaths will report greater workloads than those who do not.
