Resumo(s)
O narcisismo é um traço da personalidade que tem vindo a ser estudado ao longo do tempo. Os indivíduos narcisistas têm um maior sentido de direito em conjunto com uma necessidade de reconhecimento e admiração. Dado que se enquadram na imagem de líderes, tendem a ascender frequentemente a posições de topo. Mas será que os CEOs mais narcisistas têm um percurso diferente (quando comparados com os CEOs menos narcisistas? Apesar de vários estudos terem demonstrado que os CEOs mais narcisistas têm um determinado conjunto de características, por exemplo, a sua educação e confiança, até ao presente não há claras evidências de que essas características podem resultar em percursos distintos entre eles.
O objetivo desta dissertação é investigar o papel do narcisismo na ascensão ao topo. Para isso, os dados foram recolhidos utilizando um questionário online, sendo os CEOs das empresas em regime de sociedades anónimas o público alvo. O percurso dos CEOs mais narcisistas foi estudado com base num grupo de variáveis sociodemográficas como a idade, género, capacidades cognitivas, o primeiro emprego e o emprego no presente.
Os resultados mostram que os CEOs mais narcisistas têm percursos distintos na ascensão ao topo, tendo em conta as variáveis sociodemográficas.
Narcissism is a personality trait that has been study for a long time. Narcissistic individuals have a major sense of entitlement along with a need for recognition and self-admiration. Because of their dominance, grandiosity and since they match the image of a prototype leader, they are frequently found in top management positions. But do narcissistic CEOs have distinctive paths on their rise to the top (when compared to non-narcissistic CEOs)? Despite several studies have shown that narcissistic CEOs have a set of characteristics, for example, their education and confidence, that differ from the non-narcissistic CEOs, to date, there is no clear evidence that those characteristics may influence distinctive paths between them. The goal of this dissertation is to investigate the role of narcissism in the rise to the top ladder positions. To that end, data was collected using an online questionnaire, targeting CEOs of a sample of Portuguese registered companies. The path of the narcissistic CEO was assessed by studying a group of socio-demographic variables such as age, gender, cognitive ability, first job and current job. The results show that highly narcissistic CEOs have a distinctive path in the rise to the top regarding socio-demographic variables.
