Narcissism at Work

Adrian Furnham

Chapter 5 in The Elephant in the Boardroom, 2010, pp 111-139 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter is predicated on four fundamental axioms. The first is that self-esteem at both the global (facet) and specific (domain) levels is normally distributed in the population. Like nearly all human characteristics and traits, from creativity to conscientiousness and integrity to intelligence, there is, in the general population, a bell curve (normal) distribution with a few people with very high self-esteem and a few with very low self-esteem. Further, it has trait-like qualities, being stable over time and relatively consistent across social situations.
