Abstract
The relationships of Machiavellianism with managerial work attitudes and perceptions were investigated using questionnaire data for 75 managerial personnel. Machiavellianism for managers was significantly correlated negatively with job satisfaction, perceived participation in decision making and job involvement, and positively with role ambiguity and job tension. Machiavellianism was not significantly related to perceived managerial job performance.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
