It is associated with lower levels of employees’ job performance and a higher level of counterproductive workplace behaviours
Phychopathy
is a clinical personality disorder (American Psychiatric Association, 2013, p. 717) reflected in ‘a grandiose sense of self-importance’, needing ‘excessive admiration’, ‘a sense of entitlement’, ‘a lack of empathy’, and a tendency towards being ‘exploitative, manipulative, and arrogant’. Not surprisingly, narcissists elicit negative responses from those with whom they interact
