The Moderating Role of General Self-Efficacy on the Effect of Employees’ Dark Personality Traits on Burnout

Öz

The purpose of this study is to test the moderating role of general self-efficacy on the effect of dark personality traits (narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy) on burnout. In this context, a total of 182 employees from a private sector enterprise operating in Sakarya participated in the study. Hayes's (2013) PROCESS model was used to test the moderating role of general self-efficacy on the effect of dark personality traits on burnout. According to the findings of the study, it was found that general self-efficacy had a significant moderating role on the effect of narcissism only on burnout global and emotional exhaustion. General self-efficacy did not play a moderating role on the effect of other variables (Dark Triad global, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy) on burnout.

Çalışanların Karanlık Kişilik Özelliklerinin Tükenmişliğe Etkisinde Genel Öz-Yeterliliğin Düzenleyici Rolü

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı çalışanların karanlık kişilik özelliklerinin (narsisizm, Makyavelizm ve psikopati) tükenmişliğe etkisinde genel öz-yeterliliğin düzenleyici rolünün test edilmesidir. Bu kapsamda Sakarya’da faaliyet gösteren bir özel sektör işletmesinden toplamda 182 çalışan araştırmaya dâhil olmuştur. Çalışanların karanlık kişilik özelliklerinin tükenmişliğe etkisinde genel öz-yeterliliğin düzenleyici rolünün tespit edilmesi için Hayes’in (2013) PROCESS modelinden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına göre sadece narsisizmin duygusal tükenmeye etkisinde, genel öz-yeterliliğin anlamlı bir şekilde düzenleyici etkisi olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Harici değişkenlerin (Karanlık Üçlü toplam skor, Makyavelizm, psikopati) tükenmişliğe etkisinde, genel öz-yeterlilik düzenleyici rol oynamamıştır.
