Abstract

Aim: The aim of current study was to determine the mediating role of perceived organizational support in the relationship between dark personality triad and turnover intention. Method: The research study was descriptive - correlational. The statistical population of the study consisted of the staff of the Central Bank in Tehran who was employed in the year 1398. Data were collected using Turnover intention scale (Kim and Leung, 2007), Dirty Dozen scale (Jenson & Webster, 2010), Perceived Organizational Support Scale (Eisenberger et al, 1986), and analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results: The results showed that the direct effect of Machiavellian on turnover intention (ß=0.25،P<0.01), narcissistic on turnover intention (ß=0.48،P<0.01), Psychopath on turnover intention (ß=0.26،P<0.01) is positive and significant; and the direct effect of perceived organizational support on turnover intention (ß=-0.31،P<0.01) is negative and significant. Finally, the results of the Bootstrap test showed that perceived organizational support in the relationship between Machiavellian and turnover intention (ß=-0.011،P<0.05), between narcissistic and turnover intention (ß=0.012،P<0.05) and between psychopath and turnover intention (ß=0.011،P<0.05) has a mediating role. Conclusion: Therefore, central bank officials can take steps to reduce the negative impact of the dark triad of personality and prevent the turnover intention so that employees can perceive the attention and support of the organization.
