Narcissism In Organizational Contexts, W. Keith Campbell, Brian Hoffman, Stacy Campbell, Gaia Marchisio

Gaia Marchisio

The literature on narcissism in organizational contexts is reviewed. We begin by describing the context of narcissism and several relevant theoretical approaches to understanding it. We next describe research on narcissism in a range of organizational topics, from leadership to meta-organizational issues. We conclude by highlighting several reoccurring themes involving the role of narcissism in organizational contexts, with an emphasis on articulating directions for future research.
