The “Bright” and “Dark” Sides of Personality as Predictors of Adaptive Performance 2020 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted The turbulent context in which organizations operate today makes them search for adaptable workers. Previous studies have shown the predictive value of the “Big Five” personality traits on adaptive performance, but some authors suggest extending personality domain with the “dark” traits of personality, that is, Machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy (i.e., the “Dark Triad”), and sadism (which, along with the aforementioned traits, composes the “Dark Tetrad”). The present research investigates the incremental validity of the dark traits in the prediction of adaptive performance over the Big Five. The study follows a cross-sectional design with a convenience sample of 613 participants (46% women; mean age 38.78 years, SD = 14.05; mean job experience = 16.93 years, SD = 13.39) from different organizations who fill in a questionnaire with the variables. Our results showed that the Dark Triad improved the predictive model with respect to the Big Five (R2 = 0.202, ΔR2 = 0.030, p < 0.001). The statistically significant predictors were neuroticism (β = −0.127, p = 0.010), openness to experience (β = 0.155, p < 0.001), conscientiousness (β = 0.164, p = 0.001), narcissism (β = 0.134 p < 0.002), and psychopathy (β = −0.137, p = 0.005). The incorporation of sadism did not improve the Dark Triad model (R2 = 0.202, ΔR2= −0.001, p = 0.541). info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 3.251 2020 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES 124 / 273 = 0.454 2020 Q2 T2 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES 60 / 125 = 0.48 2020 Q2 T2 GREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 30 / 44 = 0.682 2020 Q3 T3 GREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 6 / 9 = 0.667 2020 Q3 T3 0.611 2020 Energy Engineering and Power Technology 2020 Q1 Environmental Science (miscellaneous) 2020 Q1 Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment 2020 Q1 Management, Monitoring, Policy and Law 2020 Q1 Geography, Planning and Development 2020 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Fernández del Río, Elena Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-9645-8109 Barrada, Juan Ramón Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-6887-6277 4009 740 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
