Abstract:

The aim of the study is to determine the dark triad personality traits of health workers in Turkey and to reveal whether the tendencies of health workers regarding the dark triad personality sub-dimensions differ according to various individual and demographic characteristics. The sample of the study consists of 319 health workers. "Personal Information Form" and "Dark Triple Personality Scale" were used as data collection tools. In the analysis of the data, the t-test was used for the independent groups to compare the means of two independent groups, and the ANOVA test was used for the comparison of the means of three or more groups. Tukey's multiple comparison test was used to determine the groups from which the differences determined as a result of the ANOVA analysis. According to the findings, it was seen that the average values of the dark triad personality dimensions of health workers were at a moderate level. While there was no significant difference between variables such as the type of institution, marital status, working time, age, occupational group and dark triad personality traits, there were significant differences according to gender and working regions. In the study, it was observed that male healthcare professionals exhibit higher levels of Psychopathic behavior than females, and healthcare professionals providing services in the Marmara region exhibit more Narcissism behaviors than healthcare professionals providing services in the Black Sea region. It would be beneficial to conduct such studies only for physicians or nurses, to include private hospital employees more in the sample, and to question the relationship between the dark triad personality and different variables.
