Here, we propose the antagonistic narcissism Implicit Association Test (AN-IAT). Three studies (N = 1082) using self-, informant-reports, and other implicit measures tested the psychometric properties of the AN-IAT. The AN-IAT showed high internal consistency and good temporal stability. The measure was positively associated with (antagonistic) narcissism, aggression, and lack of empathy, but unrelated to communal, pathological, and agentic narcissism as well as self-esteem. The AN-IAT predicted self- and informantratings of aggression and empathy beyond self-reports of antagonistic and agentic narcissism, and agreeableness. Together, the antagonistic narcissism IAT is a promising addition to the assessment of narcissism.}, language = {en} } @article{BounckenCesingerTiberius2020, author = {Bouncken, Ricarda B. and Cesinger, Beate and Tiberius, Victor}, title = {Narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy of top managers}, series = {International journal of entrepreneurial venturing}, volume = {12}, journal = {International journal of entrepreneurial venturing}, number = {3}, publisher = {Inderscience Enterprises}, address = {Geneva}, issn = {1742-5360}, doi = {10.1504/ijev.2020.107932}, pages = {273 -- 302}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Numerous studies show that high levels of Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) in firms positively influence firm performance. Yet, high levels of Dark Triad (DT) traits - narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy - of managers might work detrimental to EO. Our study empirically tests if top managers who score high on Dark Triad traits have a negative influence on firm performance, reducing the merits of EO. Results of a survey study on 191 firms show that all three dimensions of the DT, narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy, suppress the positive effects that EO has on firm performance. Accordingly, selfish behaviour, emotional coldness, propensity for duplicity, and top managers' quest for self promotion, status, and dominance lead to behaviour that reduces the positive influences around innovativeness, proactiveness, and risk-taking of EO.}, language = {en} }
