AI 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.
Article Abstract
Objectives: This study investigates how nurse supervisors' Dark Triad personality traits (Machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy) influence nurses' task performance, mediated by perceptions of enriched work design (autonomy, task variety, social support, safe work conditions, feedback quality) and psychological safety.
Methods: A multisource approach was used to collect data from 256 manager-nurse dyads across various healthcare settings. Nurses completed surveys assessing their work design and psychological safety. Managers completed a self-assessment of Dark Triad traits and rated their nurse subordinates' task performance. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM) were used for analysis.
Results: Supervisors' Dark Triad traits core component impacted nurses' task performance indirectly, mediated by psychological safety and nurses' perceptions of their enriched work design. Psychopathic traits revealed a significant direct negative effect on nurses' performance, while other Dark Triad traits did not show direct effects.
Conclusion: This study sheds light on key factors influencing nurses' performance, offering insights for healthcare organizations aiming to optimize work environments and improve team effectiveness.
