Bu çalışmada son yıllarda işe dönük pek çok tutum ve davranışla ilişkili olduğu görgül çalışmalarca raporlanan ve karanlık üçlü kişilik özellikleri olarak adlandırılan Makyavelizm, narsisizm ve klinik-altı psikopati kişilik özelliklerinin çalışanların risk alma eğilimi, duygusal örgütsel bağlılık, kariyer bağlılığı ve işten ayrılma niyetiyle ilişkileri araştırılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini tam zamanlı çalışan 236 beyaz yaka çalışan oluşturmuştur. Katılımcılara demografik bilgi formu, karanlık üçlü kişilik ölçeği, risk alma ölçeği, örgütsel bağlılık ölçeği, kariyer odaklı bağlılık ölçeği ve işten ayrılma niyeti ölçeklerini içeren bir anket formu uygulanmıştır. Çalışmanın verileri Google Forms üzerinden çevrimiçi olarak toplanmıştır. Korelasyon analizleri, hem Makyavelizm hem de narsisizm kişilik özelliklerinin kariyer bağlılığı ve finansal risk alma eğilimi ile pozitif yönde ilişkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca, finansal risk alma eğilimi kariyer odaklı bağlılık ve işten ayrılma niyeti ile pozitif yönde, duygusal örgütsel bağlılık ile ise negatif yönde ilişkilidir. Regresyon analizi bulguları kariyer odaklı bağlılığın çalışılan pozisyon ve narsisizm kişilik özelliği tarafından pozitif ve anlamlı yönde yordadığını göstermektedir. Son olarak, işten ayrılma niyeti ise sadece finansal risk alma değişkeni tarafından anlamlı ve pozitif yönde yordanmaktadır. Araştırma bulguları konuyla ilgili alan yazın temelinde tartışılmaktadır.

The Relationships among Dark Triad Personality Traits, Risk Taking Tendency, Organizational Commitment, Career Commitment and Turnover Intention

Öz

This study examined dark triad personality traits’ (i.e., Machiavellianism, narcissism and subclinical psychopathy), which have been reported by empirical studies to be related to many work-related attitudes and behaviors in recent years, relationship with employees’ risk-taking tendency, affective organizational commitment, career commitment, and turnover intention. The sample of the study consisted of 236 white-collar employees who are working full-time. A survey package including demographic information form, dark triad personality scale, risk-taking scale, organizational commitment scale, career-oriented commitment scale, and turnover intention scale was administered to the participants. The data of the study were collected online via Google Forms. Correlation analyses indicated that both Machiavellian and narcissistic personality traits are positively associated with career commitment and financial risk-taking propensity. In addition, the tendency to take financial risks is positively related to both career-oriented commitment and intention to leave but negatively related to employees’ affective commitment to the organization. Results of regression analyses showed that career-oriented commitment is significantly and positively predicted by the position and narcissism personality trait variables. Finally, the turnover intention was found to be significantly and positively predicted only by the financial risk-taking variable. The findings of the study are discussed on the basis of the relevant literature.
