Abstract
This study aims to see how dark triad personality traits (narcissism, psychopathy, and machiavellianism) influence counterproductive work behaviours (CPWBs), with the mediating role of Perception of Organizational Politics, Psychological Contract Breach, and Perceived Accountability. Previous studies have engrossed the dark triad's effect on measuring individuals' unproductive work conduct. As a result, the dark triad personality traits are examined in this study to investigate counterproductive work behaviour. This research proposes and empirically validates this link model, suggesting that three mediators of the association between dark triad personalities and CWBs are Perception of Organizational Politics, Psychological Contract Breach, and Perceived Accountability. This study applied regression analysis and the Sobel Test to test the hypotheses on a sample of 342 employees working in the Manufacturing sector of Egypt. The results of this study reveal that the dark triad has a positive and significant effect on counterproductive work behaviours, and Perception of organisational Politics, psychological contract breach, and Perceived Accountability significantly mediate the relationship between the dark triad and counterproductive work behaviour.
