Corporate Psychopaths and Organisational Seniority

Clive Boddy

Chapter 8 in Corporate Psychopaths, 2011, pp 99-112 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter introduces the concept of Corporate Psychopaths as ruthless employees who can successfully gain entry to organisations and can then rapidly get promoted to senior managerial and leadership positions. The little empirical research that exists supports the view that Corporate Psychopaths are more commonly found at senior levels of organisations than at junior levels. The research presented in this book on this subject in not substantial or definitive; nevertheless it also supports this view.
