Resumo(s)
Narcisistas são indivíduos com excesso de amor-próprio, que gostam de ser reconhecidos pelos outros e que procuram constantemente chamar a atenção. Os Diretores Executivos das empresas (CEOs) possuidores deste traço de personalidade têm apetência pela grandiosidade e têm maior probabilidade de assumirem maiores riscos, ao mesmo tempo que auferem uma maior compensação pelo seu trabalho. Devido à grande influência exercida pelo CEO, é importante, tanto por razões académicas, como de recrutamento, estudar como é que os seus traços de personalidade podem afetar as empresas em que trabalham. Contudo, ainda não se chegou a um consenso sobre o efeito que os CEOs narcisistas podem ter na empresa e, principalmente, no desempenho da mesma. Para este estudo, usou-se uma amostra de CEOs de empresas registadas em Portugal, tendo os dados sido recolhidos através de um questionário online. Para analisar a relação entre narcisismo e desempenho da empresa, este último foi medido com base numa escala subjetiva e de auto-perceção. Os resultados mostram que o narcisismo está positivamente associado com o desempenho, confirmando que os narcisistas tendem a dar à sua atuação uma avaliação elevada. Embora estes resultados sugiram vantagens associadas à contratação de CEOs narcisistas, a utilização de medidas objetivas de desempenho pode revelar-se necessária para alcançar resultados mais fiáveis.
Narcissists are individuals with excessive self-admiration that always like to be recognized by others and are constantly seeking attention and distinction. CEOs that possess this personality trait have grandiose tendencies and are likely to take riskier actions, while receiving a higher compensation for their work. Due to the great influence of CEOs, it is important, both for academic and hiring purposes, to study how their traits affect the companies they work for. However, authors have yet to reach an agreement regarding the effect of CEO narcissism on company and, mostly, on company performance. Using a sample of CEOs of Portuguese registered companies, data was collected based on a questionnaire held online. To assess the relationship between narcissism and performance, performance was measured using a subjective and self-perception measure. The results show that narcissism is positively related to performance, confirming that narcissists give their work a high evaluation. These findings may suggest an advantage of hiring narcissistic CEOs but the use of objective measures of performance might be needed in order to reach more accurate results.
