The Foundations of Modern Political Thought: Volume 1, The Renaissance. 'The Dark Triad of personality: Narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy'. Workplace behaviors central to this concept are centered around using aggressive and exploitative means in order to ensure self success. This suggests that people high in Machiavellianism do not simply wish to achieve, they wish to do so at the expense of (or at least without regard to) others.
Machiavellianism has been found to lie diagonally opposite from a circumplex construct called self-construal, a tendency to prefer communion over agency. Machiavellianism lies in the quadrant of the circumplex defined by high agency and low communion. Agency refers to motivation to succeed and to individuate the self, whereas communion refers to motivation to merge with others and to support group interests. Machiavellianism has also been located within the interpersonal circumplex, which consists of the two independent dimensions of agency and communion. However, Machiavellianism correlates more highly with the Honesty-humility dimension of the six-factor HEXACO model than with any of the Big Five dimensions.
Machiavellianism has been found to be negatively correlated with Agreeableness ( r = â∠.47) and Conscientiousness ( r = â∠.34), two dimensions of the Big Five personality model (NEO-PI-R).
