💡 Background
The Dark Triad traits—narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy—shape individuals' behavior in profound ways. In business, higher levels of these traits significantly influence team dynamics, leadership effectiveness, and overall workplace culture, often contributing to conflict, reduced team cohesion, and toxic organizational environments. With this Systematic Literature Review, we want to investigate whether and how these traits can be influenced through targeted interventions to mitigate their negative outcomes in organizations.
🦾Who We Are
The Chair for Strategy and Organization is focused on research with impact. This means we do not want to repeat old ideas and base our research solely on the research people did 10 years ago. Instead, we currently research topics that will shape the future. Topics such as Agile Organizations and Digital Disruption, Blockchain Technology, Creativity and Innovation, Digital Transformation and Business Model Innovation, Diversity, Education: Education Technology and Performance Management, HRTech, Leadership, and Teams.. We are always early in noticing trends, technologies, strategies, and organizations that shape the future, which has its ups and downs.
