Assessment of the Light and Dark Personality Traits of Sports Managers

Öz

This study aims to determine the levels of Light Triad and Dark Triad personality traits among sports managers, to examine differences across demographic variables, and to investigate the relationships between these traits. Conducted within a relational survey design, the research sample consisted of 242 sports managers employed in the Provincial Directorates of Youth and Sports. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form and the Dark Triad and Light Triad scales. Analyses were conducted using the SPSS software package, including independent samples t-tests, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Pearson correlation tests. The findings revealed significant differences in the narcissism dimension of the Dark Triad according to gender; in the psychopathy and Machiavellianism dimensions according to age; and in the Machiavellianism dimension according to years of service. Regarding the Light Triad, significant differences were observed in the faith in humanity dimension according to educational status and marital status. Although women scored higher on average in the humanism and Kantianism dimensions of the Light Triad, these differences were not statistically significant. Results of the correlation analysis indicated significant positive relationships between the subdimensions of the Dark Triad and those of the Light Triad.
