YÖNETİCİLERDE NARSİSİZM ÜZERİNE BİR ARAŞTIRMA

Öz

Kökenleri Yunan mitolojisine uzanan narsisizm kavramı bireyin kendisine duyduğu aşk, hayranlık, kendini büyük görme gibi bir dizi tutumu ifade eder. Belirli bir düzeyde narsisizm normal bir kişilik özelliği olarak ele alınırken; şişirilmiş bir öz benlik sevgisine dönüşen narsisizm patolojik olarak değerlendirilir. Örgütsel düzeyde narsisizmin etkilerini değerlendirmek üzere daha önceki çalışmalarda narsisistik eğilim ile verimlilik, performans, bağlılık gibi kavramların ilişkileri incelenmiştir. Örgütlerin başarısında önemli rol oynayan yöneticilerin narsisistik kişilik eğilimleri ile bu eğilimlerin olumlu ve olumsuz yansımalarının değerlendirilmesi için bir giriş niteliğinde olan bu çalışmada yöneticilerin narsisizm eğilimleri ve bu eğilimlerin narsisizmin hangi boyutunda daha yoğun olduğu temel sorusuyla ampirik bir araştırma yapılmıştır.
