“…Such results can be partially explained by specific personality by management students population where is to find some higher Machiavellianism e.g. on Croatian sample (Bogdanović and Cingula, 2015), and also researchers from Aarhus University (Denmark) found that students of economics and management have personalities with higher drive for social domination and power (index.hr, 03.05.2017. according Independent).…”

This study examines and compares the attitude of management students in Croatia and Slovakia towards whistleblowing in a sample of 121 master students of business ethics at the Faculty of Economics University in Split, Croatia, and 169 master students from University of Bratislava, Slovakia. The three measurement instruments include whistleblowers' attitudes (3 items), whistleblowing attitudes (2 items) and potential types of whistleblowing reactions (8 items), i.e. external reactions (4 items) and internal reactions (4 items). The results of the study indicated a positive attitude toward whistleblowing and whistleblowers in both student groups. It is also found that Croatian students exhibited more positive attitude towards whistleblowers than Slovakian students. Also, Croatian students showed more proneness to react in a whistleblowing situation -both inside the organization and externally via media. These conclusions suggest that the sense of moral duty to blow the whistle, as well as less fear of the potential consequences, is stronger in Croatian students. The results may be of practical use to managers who can benefit from whistleblowing while keeping in mind that whistleblowing can't be avoided and that punishing whistleblowers seems to be a bad managerial practice.

“…The analysis involving a comparison of both instruments (DD-SD3) highlighted the greater convergence and incremental validity of the SD3 in terms of longer and more established measures of the dark triad traits, adequate discriminant validity, and criterion validity concerning the traits of the five-factor model [ 19 ]. Due to these superior psychometric properties, the SD3 has been widely propagated worldwide [ 3 , 20 , 21 ], including adaptations and their analyses in countries as diverse as Germany [ 22 ], Argentina [ 23 ], China [ 24 ], Poland [ 25 ], Croatia [ 26 ], Russia [ 27 ], Iran [ 28 ], Japan [ 29 ], Taiwan [ 30 ], Holland [ 31 ], Serbia [ 32 ], Thailand [ 33 ], France [ 34 ], Turkey [ 35 ], and Spain [ 36 ].…”

(1) Background: The dark triad refers to a personality configuration mainly characterized by the presence of Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy. Even though adolescence is a critical stage in the development of dark triad traits, to date, this construct has not been studied among adolescents, mainly due to the lack of a measurement instrument adapted to this population. (2) Methods: Using a sample of 1642 adolescents, an adaptation of the Short Dark Triad (SD3) is proposed for this population. To this end, we performed a confirmatory factor analysis of the scale and examined its reliability and the intensity of the dark triad components by sex and sexual orientation. (3) Results: The adapted version of the scale (The Short Dark Triad—Adolescent Version; SD3-A) yielded good psychometric results. Confirmatory factor analysis corroborated the theoretical model of the three factors of dark personality. The results confirmed the greater presence of dark traits in male adolescents, and differences were observed based on sexual orientation. (4) Conclusions: The Short Dark Triad—Adolescent Version (SD3-A) is an effective and comprehensive instrument for the estimation of dark traits in adolescents and can be used as a screening test for this population.

“…Prior work also compares Croatia with others. An interesting paper, in our view, compares business students in Croatia with those in Canada on three psychological characteristics, Machiavellianism, Narcissism, and Psychopathy labeled the “Dark Triad.” Implied is the belief these would be dysfunctional should they migrate to the business community, and this is potentially a larger problem given that Croatian respondents scored higher than the Canadians (Bogdanovic & Cingula, 2015). A 2015 paper compares the ethical influence of gender, nationality, and citizenship on one's moral philosophy and ethical behavior in several Central and East European Countries including Croatia.…”

Given recent lapses in business decision making the development of business moral judgment has become a central issue in the United States and around the world. Our paper surveyed 171 students and 59 business practitioners in the Republic of Croatia to identify the influence that an issue's contours have on Rest's second psychological construct, Moral Judgment. Issue context—business or student sample—found that business practitioners demonstrated superior moral reasoning. Issue content—specific nature of the issue at hand—showed richness of moral reasoning varied with the specific subject of the issue for both students and business practitioners. And stability across issues—consistency in moral judgment—found students far more uniform in their reasoning than business practitioners. It follows that (1) lessons learned in the business community may better inform instruction at the collegiate level, (2) cultural peculiarities impact moral reasoning, and (3) transitioning economies offer challenges. Future researchers may wish to explore the decline in moral judgment exhibited by Millennials, possible bifurcated reasoning in other social groupings, and public policies needed to improve moral judgment.
