This study aims to advance the understanding of the effect of employee narcissism on creative deviance through creative self-efficacy and the moderation of this effect through transformational leadership. Research data were collected using a three-wave lagged model ( = 446) from 446 employees of 6 Chinese companies to test our moderated mediation model. The findings show that narcissism positively and significantly predicted creative self-efficacy ( = 0.42, < 0.001) and creative deviance ( = 0.64, < 0.001), and that creative self-efficacy partially mediated that relationship. Transformational leadership strengthens the effect of narcissism on creative self-efficacy, and there is a positive indirect relationship between employee narcissism and creative deviance through creative self-efficacy when transformational leadership is high. These findings extend the understanding of the antecedents of creative deviance by showing the relations between employee narcissism and creative deviance. The study also contributes to the literature of mediating role of creative self-efficacy and the moderating role of transformational leadership to explain the relationship between employee narcissism and creative deviance.

Anti-science movements brought more than public distrust in science. Perhaps even more worryingly, these movements are also associated with instances of harassment of-and violence against-scientists. However, virtually nothing is known about individuals likely to harass or harm scientists.

Managers sometimes have a bad reputation as they are often perceived as more manipulative than other employees. This study focuses on the Dark Triad (DT)-comprising psychopathy, Machiavellianism, and narcissism-and its connection with managers' "Ability" Emotional Intelligence (AEI). The link between DT (measured through the Dirty Dozen) and managers' AEI (measured through QEPro, an AEI performance test) was examined through a Latent Profile Analysis (LPA).

Article Synopsis
- This study examines how nurse supervisors' Dark Triad personality traits—Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy—affect nurses' job performance through factors like work design and psychological safety.
- A multisource method involved 256 manager-nurse pairs in different healthcare settings, with nurses reporting on their work experiences while managers assessed their own personality traits and their nurses' performance.
- Results indicated that while psychopathy negatively impacts performance directly, other traits affect it indirectly through influences on psychological safety and nurses' perceptions of their work environment.

This study was conducted to determine whether the coping flexibility and narcissism of child teachers are related to the teacher-child relationship through teacher efficacy, focusing on the importance of coping flexibility and narcissism, which has recently attracted attention in relation to human psychology. To this end, data from 329 child teachers working in kindergartens and daycare centers were analyzed using the Coping Flexibility Questionnaire (COFLEX), Murray's Narcissism Scale, Teacher Self-Efficacy Scale (TSES), and Student-Teacher Relationship Scale (STRS). A higher level of coping flexibility and teacher efficacy in early child teachers showed direct and indirect links to the teacher-child relationship.
