Webster 1 Mickey B. Smith2 Published online: 6 September 2018 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract The present study extends research related to the dark triad (DT) personality traits, Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychop- athy, by demonstrating a managerial action that mitigates negative behaviors traditionally associated with the DT. Drawing from self-determination theory, we suggest that a high involvement management climate acts as an important boundary condition influencing the relationship between subordinate DT personality traits and subordinate organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB). In a sample of 97 work groups, comprised of 298 employees, we find general support for our predictions that a high involvement management climate affects the rate at which Machiavellians and narcissists engage in OCB. Results from the present study are important for theory and practice alike because research has yet to identify actions managers can take to help combat detrimental effects of the DT in the workplace.
