Abstract

The relationship between dark triad personality traits and the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) has attracted research interest worldwide. Dark traits are described by three clusters; Machiavellianism: strategically manipulative; narcissism: grandiose and entitled; and psychopathy: reckless and selfish. Each trait predicts attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control and intention related financial misbehaviour in different degrees of outcomes because of their distinct features. In comparison to narcissism and psychopathy, Machiavellianism tends to exhibit a favourable link between planning abilities. Psychopathy has a detrimental impact on all TPB constructs. Using dark personality knowledge, psychopathy can better predict future financial misbehaviour psychologically compared with other dark personality attributes. © 2023 by IGI Global.
