The influence of CEO narcissism on the design of compensation mechanisms: is there a bright side on this personality trait?

“…To calculate the Narcissism Score, we use natural language processing (NPL) through the Tokenizers package in RStudio 3 , which count the number of first-person pronouns for each CEO, in each year, based on the transcripts for fourth-quarter results 4 . This continuous measure of narcissism is consistent with the view that narcissism can be seen as a personality dimension whereby individuals can score from low to high degrees (Campbell et al, 2004;Capalbo et al, 2018;D'Souza, Aragão, & De Luca, 2018;Patel & Cooper, 2014;Raskin & Hall, 1979;Raskin & Shaw, 1988).…”

The influence of CEO narcissistic personality traits on the indebtedness of B3 companies

“…The Narcissistic Personality Inventory was studied by Raskin and Terry (1988), who identified its main components and used it as a basis for calculating the narcissism of managers. Taking this into account, the narcissistic characteristics of CEOs are associated with the following behaviors: the belief that they are superior and incomparable (Zhang et al, 2017), a constant need to receive positive feedback (Lima et al, 2017), feelings of grandiosity, aggressiveness, self-love (Góis, 2017), a sense of entitlement, vanity, exploitation, exhibitionism, self-promotion, authority, self-sufficiency (D'Souza et al, 2018), self-importance, an inflated and unrealistic selfimage, a need for status and recognition, arrogance, selfconfidence, charisma and persuasion (Araújo et al, 2021).…”

Ressalva-se a Petrobras S.A., foi considerada a maior afetada neste cenário (Bastos, Rosa & Pimenta, 2016), sendo também o caso que mais chama a atenção na investigação, pois, a corrupção já permeava as operações da referida empresa desde 2004 (Façanha et al, 2020).…”
