Abstract(s)
O presente estudo teve como propósito central aprofundar a relação entre os traços da dark triad (maquiavelismo, narcisismo, psicopatia) e liderança. Investigou-se de que forma os traços da dark triad se associam à progressão de carreira em cargos de liderança e ao nível hierárquico dos líderes. Procurou-se analisar a relação direta entre a dark triad e o estilo de liderança coach, bem como perceber de que modo o locus de controlo poderia atuar como variável moderadora. Adicionalmente, procedeu-se à identificação de perfis da dark triad, que foram caracterizados sociodemograficamente e analisou-se em interação com as outras variáveis em estudo. O estudo contou com a participação de 185 líderes de diferentes níveis hierárquicos abrangendo desde cargos de liderança intermédia até posições de gestão executiva. As análises estatísticas compreenderam correlações, regressões lineares múltiplas, ANOVAs, moderações e análise de clusters. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que a psicopatia emergiu como o único preditor significativo em todas as dimensões da liderança coach. O locus de controlo externo apresentou efeitos de moderação, apenas entre as relações do narcisismo e maquiavelismo e algumas dimensões da liderança coach. Este estudo reforça a importância de integrar a personalidade dark na compreensão da liderança, sublinhando a pertinência de aprofundar a investigação sobre o impacto destes traços na atuação dos líderes e na capacidade de exercer uma liderança eficaz.
The present study aimed to deepen the understanding of the relationship between dark triad traits (machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy) and leadership. It examined how these traits are associated with career progression in leadership positions and with leaders’ hierarchical levels. The research also explored the direct relationship between the dark triad and the coaching leadership style, as well as the moderating role of locus of control. In addition, distinct dark triad profiles were identified, characterized sociodemographically, and analysed in interaction with the other variables under study. The sample comprised 185 leaders from different hierarchical levels, ranging from middle management to executive positions. The statistical analysis included correlations, multiple linear regressions, ANOVAs, moderation analysis, and cluster analysis. The findings revealed that psychopathy emerged as the only significant predictor across all dimensions of coaching leadership. Furthermore, external locus of control showed moderating effects exclusively in the relationships between narcissism, machiavellianism, and certain dimensions of coaching leadership. This study reinforces the importance of integrating dark personality traits into the understanding of leadership and highlights the need for further research to clarify how these traits influence leaders and their ability to exercise effective leadership.
