Dark Triad and Light Triad Personality in Awareness of The Role of Educator Accountants

Abstract

This study aims to interpret the awareness of the role of Educator Accountants in the accounting learning process and relate the meaning of this awareness to the theory of Light Triad and Dark Triad personalities. The subjects of this study are accounting lecturers (informants) who meet certain criteria. The research method uses an interpretive phenomenology approach which begins with an interview (noema), then conducts an epoche, namely an in-depth interview with informants and triangulation with students and observation (noesis). The noesis in the form of the theme of consciousness is further associated with the theory of Light Triad and Dark Triad personalities. The results of the study concluded that Educator Accountants who teach Exemplary tend to have Dark Triad Narcissism personalities, Educator Accountants who teach Discipline tend to have Dark Triad Psychopath personalities, who teach Morals and Ethics tend to have Light Triad Faith in Humanity personalities, who provide Comfort tend to have Light Triad Faith personalities this Humanity, who teach Independence tend to have Dark Triad Psychopathic personalities, and those who turn on Emotional Intelligence tend to have the personality of Faith's Light Triad of Humanity. If analyzed as a whole, Educator Accountants at this Institution tend to have a Light Triad personality more dominant than the Dark Triad. The results of the research are expected to provide benefits to enrich the repertoire of Behavioral Accounting science and be useful for Educator Accountants to always evaluate themselves because the attitude and nature of an Accountant are a reflection of one them as an Educator Accountant.
