’This is a valuable and unique book which reflects a new trend: namely concentrating on the dark side of work. Over half the well written and up-to-date chapters examine the causes and consequences of dark people and dark work situations that reflect the book’s subtitle. I very much enjoyed reading many of the chapters in a book that should be of use not only to students and researchers but managers struggling with the forces of darkness in their workplace.’ Adrian Furnham, University College London, UK ’... a sobering and illuminating collection documenting just how often the desire to succeed can come to override honest ethical behaviour and lead to reckless, destructive and fraudulent behaviour resulting in the courts, prison or death.’ Michael Walton, Director, People in Organisations Ltd, UK
