Abstract
In recent years, there has been focus on the influence of the Dark Triad on career success, as these traits lead to many differing results in the literature. This study therefore focussed on the relationship between the Dark Triad and career success, with a specific focus on subclinical narcissism. We investigated the moderating effect of cognitive ability on this relationship. We predicted that narcissism would be positively related to career success (H1) and that cognitive ability would moderate this relationship (H2), meaning the higher the cognitive ability, the stronger the relationship. Both hypotheses were confirmed. The study had a sample of N = 164 participants. The participants were all working adults (18+)
