Investigaton of the relationship between childhood traumas, anger expression styles, dark triad personality traits, self-sabotage and dissociative experiences in white-collars

Professionals in business life are categorized into two main categories in terms of their status: white-collar and blue-collar. White-collar workers conduct technical or non-technical work based on mental performance rather than physical effort or arm strength. Modern psychotraumatologically, childhood traumas lead to decreased job performance in white-collar workers. In this respect, the aim of our master's thesis is to examine the relationship between childhood traumas and anger expression styles, dark triad characteristics, self-sabotage, and dissociative experiences in white-collar workers. The universe of our study consists of 200 participants living in Istanbul and working in the public or private sector in a white-collar profession for at least 1 year. Our study provides significant scientific contributions in understanding the effects of childhood traumas on dissociative experiences, anger expression styles, dark triad personality traits and self-sabotage in white-collar workers. The psychological reflections of childhood traumas negatively affect individuals' performance and adaptation in their work life and hinder not only individual success but also the functionality and productivity of organizational structures. In this context, addressing the effects of childhood traumas in working life from a broader societal perspective is critical for supporting the individual development of the subjects and improving the institutional system.
