Abstract

Data from accountants showed that the number of clients served as one of the three measures of self-perceived performance was positively correlated with Machiavellianism (Mach IV) scores. The number of clients was also related to gender, age, education and experience. The other measures of self-perceived performance including overall performance and quality of performance were not related to Mach IV or with demographic variables.
