Corporate social responsibility or CEO narcissism? CSR motivations and organizational performance
基于高层梯队和代理理论，研究CEO自恋对企业社会责任实践的影响，发现CEO自恋会提升CSR水平但削弱CSR对绩效的正面作用，对理解高管心理特质与CSR动机的关系有参考价值。
This study builds on insights from both upper echelons and agency perspectives to examine the effects on corporate social responsibility ( CSR ) practices of CEO 's narcissism. Drawing on prior theory about CEO narcissism, we argue that CSR can be a response to leaders' personal needs for attention and image reinforcement and hypothesize that CEO narcissism has positive effects on levels and profile of organizational CSR ; additionally, CEO narcissism will reduce the effect of CSR on performance. We find support for our ideas with a sample of F ortune 500 CEOs , operationalizing CEO narcissism with a novel media‐based measurement technique that uses third‐party ratings of CEO characteristics with validated psychometric scales .
