The perception of sub-clinical personality disorders by employers, employees and co-workers.

Both failures and successes of individuals in the workplace have been attributed to the Personality Disorders (PDs). Several studies have proposed that PDs account for a significant proportion of dysfunction in the workplace (Ettner, Maclean and French, 2011; Goldman, 2006), whilst others have suggested that the traits of certain PDs are to some degree associated with some personal workplace success for the individual in certain jobs (Furnham, Trickey and Hyde, 2012; Rosenthal and Pittinsky, 2006; Zibarras, Port and Woods, 2008).
