    Hello colleagues, I am posting on behalf of a colleague in Germany. Her contact email is below. Thank you for helping: 

    Dear colleagues,

    We are currently conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis of the effects of psychopathy on task performance, organizational citizenship behavior, and counterproductive work behavior. In addition to published studies, we are looking for unpublished manuscripts or preprints, dissertations, conference presentations, unpublished raw data, and work in progress.

    We would be happy to include relevant studies matching the following criteria:
    - relation to the workplace (e.g., use an employed sample or a working context)
    - cross-sectional or a longitudinal study design

    In case you have unpublished research meeting these criteria, we would be most grateful if you could contact us by November 1st, 2021 (email to: Lenke.Roth@psychol.uni-giessen.de).

    For our meta-analysis, we need the following information:
    - sample size
    - study design
    - measurements used for assessing psychopathy, task performance, organizational citizenship behavior, or counterproductive work behavior
    - reliability of the measurements
    - age average, gender distribution, and type of sample (e.g., managers) whose psychopathy scores were recorded (if applicable, sample's origin)
    - correlation matrix with age, gender, psychopathy, task performance, organizational citizenship behavior, and counterproductive work behavior; if available, also from the sub facets of the respective constructs (e.g., primary/secondary psychopathy or individual/organizational OCB/CWB)

    Please let us know how you would like your data to be cited in our resulting manuscript.

    Also, if you know of colleagues who are working on studies relevant to our meta-analysis, we would be grateful if you could forward this call to them.

    Thank you very much, in advance, for your time and consideration of our request.

    Kind regards,

    Prof. Ute-Christine Klehe, PhD
    Lenke Roth

    Sincerely,
    Carol
