Dec 23, 2024
A study of Pakistan's banking sector reveals a troubling link between the "dark tetrad" personality traits of Machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy, and sadism, and a toxic workplace. The work, published in the International Journal of Work Organisation and Emotion, sheds light on the interplay of manipulation, malice, and mental health in the digital age and shows how this fuels cyberbullying and leads to female employees leaving their jobs prematurely, with significant implications for workplace culture and organizational resilience.
