Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine dark personality characteristics of nurses and reveal whether the evaluations concerning dark personality sub-dimensionsdifferentiate according to individual and demographic characteristics or not. The population of study included all nurses in a public hospital at Ankara. The sample is not selected in the study, and the researchers tried to reach the whole universe and a total of 244 usable responses were obtained. As a result of this study, it is observed thatthere are statistically significant differences in the evaluations concerning the levels of machiavellism, narcissism and psychopathy, that are sub-dimensions of dark personality characteristics that are observed in nurses in accordance with their ages. Narcissism scores of single nurses are higher than the married nurses. But the study states that total working experience, gender and education do not create a difference in terms of dark personality levels of nurses. Observing the behavior of nurses in health institutions and drawing attention to the education programs are believed to be necessary. In this regard, it is recommended to work with specialist psychologists that have knowlegde about organizational psychology.

“…Especially since 2010, the dark triad has begun to be intensively researched in the international literature (Koopman et al, 2016;Volmer et al, 2016;Walsh & Arnold, 2020;Liang et al, 2021). However, the number of studies on this subject in the national literature is quite limited (Kanten et al, 2015;Aydoğan & Serbest, 2016;Özer et al, 2016;Özsoy & Ardıç, 2017;Serbest, 2018;Güler & Kerse, 2019;Güllü & Yıldız, 2019;Özsoy, 2019;Özsoy & Ardıç, 2020;Serbest, 2022;Sökmen & Serbest, 2022;Ayata, 2022;Özgan, 2022). For this reason, it is important to investigate the dark triad in order to better understand the role of differences in corporate employees.…”

“…When we look at the literature on the subject, limited research has been found in the national literature on the dark triad in the health sector (Özer et al, 2016;Serbest, 2022;Sökmen & Serbest, 2022;Ayata, 2022;Özgan, 2022). Therefore, the research is important and will be beneficial to the literature.…”

“…Consisted of Machiavellianism, narcissism and psychopathy, Dark Triad concept aroused significant interest and subjected to numerous studies especially in the fields of psychology, organizational behaviour, leadership and management within the last decade (Aydoğan et al, 2017;Ekizler and Bolelli, 2020;Harms and Spain, 2015;Kanten et al, 2015;Özer et al, 2016;Özsoy and Ardıç, 2017). Results showed existence of common underlying elements of Dark Triad (Furnham et al, 2013), which are asserted to be low agreeableness, callousness, lack of empathy, self-promotion, coldness, duplicity, short term orientation, malevolence and egocentrism (Paulhus and Williams, 2002;Wisse and Sleebos, 2016).…”
