It is widely acknowledged that narcissism is a peculiar characteristic of leaders, such as CEOs. However, the role of narcissism in CEO emergence and appointment has not been studied yet. We overcome this gap by studying whether having a highly narcissistic personality allows individuals to become CEOs sooner. We posit that these individuals have quicker career development, climbing the hierarchical chain faster. We also hypothesize that this relation may be moderated by the firm's characteristics, comparing family and nonfamily firms. Family firms are the most widespread organizational form of firms around the world, and their peculiarities might affect the appointment of narcissistic CEOs. Estimates on a sample of 172 individuals partially confirm the hypotheses. Highly narcissistic individuals become CEOs quicker, regardless of whether the firm is a family business or not. Narcissistic individuals thus benefit from their personality when aiming at becoming CEOs faster in their career advancement.

自恋的好处:表现得像明星一样可以加速晋升到 CEO 职位

众所周知,自恋是领导者的一个特殊特征,例如 CEO。然而,自恋在 CEO 出现和任命中的作用尚未得到研究。我们通过研究高度自恋的性格是否能让个人更快地成为 CEO 来克服这一差距。我们假设这些人有更快的职业发展,更快地攀登等级链。通过比较家族企业和非家族企业,我们还假设这种关系可能会受到公司特征的影响。家族企业是全球最普遍的企业组织形式,其特殊性可能会影响自恋型 CEO 的任命。对 172 个人样本的估计部分证实了这些假设。高度自恋的人更快地成为首席执行官,无论该公司是否为家族企业。因此,当自恋者的目标是在职业发展中更快地成为 CEO 时,他们的个性会受益。
