The relationships among dark personality traits and deviant work behaviors have received a great deal of attention in the last decade. However, the literature is limited in its investigation of why and when dark personality traits lead to deviance. In this dissertation, I present and test a theoretical model grounded in social cognitive theory, in which a moderated mediation model explicating the roles moral disengagement, ethical climate, and ethical leadership play in explaining the relationships among dark personality traits (i.e. the dark triad) and workplace deviance. Specifically, I test the model where moral disengagement mediates the relationship of the individual parts of the dark triad onto interpersonal and organizational deviance. Additionally, I test the moderation of ethical climate and ethical leadership on the relationship of the dark triad on moral disengagement. Results are consistent with explaining the mediation model and supporting the relationships of the dark triad through moral disengagement on workplace deviance. The most significant contribution of this dissertation is the moderation of ethical climate associated with Machiavellianism which leads to a greater concern with workplace deviance. These results suggest that while ethical climate is generally considered a helpful construct to organizations, concerns should be considered when an organization is influx with Machiavellian individuals. Additional theoretical and practical implications, limitations, and future research opportunities are discussed as well.
