Description
Workplace harassment remains a critical organizational challenge, yet the influence of geographical personality contexts is under-researched. This paper investigates how population-level Dark Triad traits impact harassment and whether remote work serves as a protective factor. Findings reveal that psychopathy is the strongest predictor of physical and sexual harassment, while Machiavellianism correlates with subtle psychological manipulation. Using a quasi-natural experiment and cross-sectional data, the studies show that remote work significantly moderates these risks, reducing harassment by limiting physical proximity in high-DT regions. However, narcissism remains linked to verbal abuse in both physical and digital spaces. These results underscore the need for organizations to tailor anti-harassment policies to regional contexts, utilizing work modality and transparency as strategic tools to mitigate "dark" societal influences.
