Resumo(s)
Os Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) são indivíduos com poder na tomada de decisão e com impacto significativo na sociedade. Se os CEOs demonstrarem tendências grandiosas, e.g., se tiverem tendência para o narcisismo, estes irão, provavelmente, incorrer em acções com mais risco. Dada a influência dos CEOs e os perigos que podem advir do narcisismo, é de extrema importância, tanto para fins académicos, como para questões de bem-estar, estudar os impactos que este aspecto pode ter nos CEOs e a sua conexão com comportamentos consistentes com a tomada de risco.
Assim sendo, uma amostra dos CEOs das Sociedades Anónimas Portuguesas foi utilizada. Os resultados mostram que o narcisismo tem uma relação positiva com a propensão ao risco dos CEOs.
Estas evidências sugerem que contratar CEOs com características narcisistas pode levar a empresa a incorrer em mais riscos, este aspecto não deve ser ignorado, sobretudo se este tiver um efeito negativo no bem-estar dos stakeholders.

Given the influence of CEOs, and the dangers that may arise from narcissism, it is of major importance, for both academic and well-being purposes to study the impacts that this trait may have on CEOs and its connection to risk taking behaviors. To that end, a sample of the Portuguese CEOs of joint stock companies was used. The results show that narcissism is positively related to the CEO's propensity to risk. These findings suggest that hiring CEOs with narcissistic traits may lead the company to incur in more risk and that shall not be ignored, in particular if it has a detrimental effect on the stakeholder's wealth.
