O principal objetivo desta dissertação prende-se com o estudo da relação entre a presença de traços Dark Triad (i.e., maquiavelismo, narcisismo e psicopatia) em chefias e colaboradores, e a satisfação laboral dos colaboradores. Esta dissertação pretende ainda testar o papel moderador destes mesmos traços nos colaboradores, na relação descrita. Neste estudo, participaram 312 profissionais de socorro e de saúde. Foi elaborado, e aplicado, um questionário online constituído pelas versões portuguesas do Dirty Dozen (DD) e do Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire – versão reduzida (MSQ).
Os resultados demonstraram que a presença de traços da Dark Triad nas chefias influencia negativamente a satisfação com o trabalho dos colaboradores. Verificou-se também que esta relação é moderada pela presença reduzida de traços psicopatas em colaboradores. Contudo, não foi encontrado qualquer tipo de efeito de moderação em colaboradores com traços maquiavélicos, traços narcísicos, bem como em colaboradores cuja presença de traços psicopatas é elevada.
The main goal of this study was to provide further information on the study of the relationship between leaders’ dark triad traits (i.e., machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy) and their subordinates’ job satisfaction, as well as the moderating role of the subordinates’ dark triad traits in this relationship. A total of 312 health and rescue professionals participated in this study. These had to answer an online questionnaire that was made up with the portuguese versions of the Dirty Dozen (DD) and the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire – Short Form (MSQ). The results showed that leaders with dark triad traits influence, in a negative way, their subordinates’ job satisfaction. Additionally, the results showed that subordinates with low levels of psychopathic traits have a moderating role in the relationship mentioned previously. This moderating effect does not happen if the subordinates have either machiavellian or narcissistic traits, or high levels of psychopathic traits.
