Öz:

The destructive aspects of leadership and how dysfunctional leaders can jeopardize an organization’sculture and values have been a trend topic in business management recently. The personality traits that areassociated with leader failure mainly come with the Dark Triad traits: narcissism, psychopathy, andMachiavellianism. Narcissism covers some attitudes and behaviors such as an admiration for oneself, self-love,extreme selfishness, arrogance, grandiosity and superiority upon others. As narcissism is described as one ofthe undesired personality traits, unhealthy conditions and destructive consequences can easily be occurredwhen the narcissistic leaders get authorization and come into action in organizations. It’s clear that narcissisticleaders are only interested in him/herself and they usually think that the world is revolving on the axis of “self”and without their leadership, the organization cannot reach its full potential and disappear in the end. In thisconceptual paper, narcissism and narcissistic leaders will be identified and their tactics will be revealed indetail. Then, the common attitudes and behaviors they engage in and reflect others will be outlined and in theconclusion section, the precautions that can be taken to prevent form narcissistic leaders and the ways to reducetheir negative effects on employee work behaviors in organizations will be listed and recommendations will bemade thoroughly.

“AYNA AYNA, SÖYLE BANA! VAR MI BENDEN GÜZELİ BU DÜNYADA?” ÖRGÜTLERDE NARSİST LİDERLER VE ONLARIN ÇALIŞANLARIN İŞ DAVRANIŞLARINDAKİ ÖNEMLİ ETKİLERİ

Öz:

Yıkıcı liderlik özellikleri ve yetersiz liderlerin, örgüt kültürünü ve değerlerini nasıl tehlikeye attıkları, günümüzde işletme yönetimi kapsamında yoğun bir şekilde ilgi çeken konular haline gelmiştir. Liderlerin başarısızlıklarıyla ilişkilendirilen kişilik özellikleri olan Narsisizm, Makyavelizm ve Psikopati, “Karanlık Üçlü” kişilik grubu kapsamında ele alınmaktadır. Narsisizm, kişinin kendisini aşırı düzeyde beğenmesini, kendisine düşkünlüğü, aşırı bencilliği, kibiri, böbürlenmeyi ve diğerlerine göre üstün olduklarını yansıtan tutum ve davranışları kapsamaktadır. Narsisizm, istenmeyen kişilik özelliklerinden birisi olarak kabul edildiği için, narsist liderler örgütlerde yetki sahibi olduklarında ve kişisel faaliyet alanları geliştiğinde örgütte olumsuz ve istenmeyen koşullar kolaylıkla oluşabilir. Narsist liderlerin sadece kendilerini düşündükleri, dünyanın kendi eksenleri etrafında döndüğünü ve onlar olmadan örgütün gerçek potansiyeline erişemeyeceğine ve sonunda yok olacağına sanmaları bir gerçektir. Bu çalışmada, narsisizm ve narsistik liderler tanımlanacak ve başvurdukları taktikler detaylı olarak ele alınacaktır. Daha sonra, sonuç bölümünde, narsistik liderlerden uzak durmanın yöntemleri irdelenecek ve onların örgütte çalışanlar üzerindeki olumsuz etkilerinin azaltılmasının yolları anlatılacak ve bu konuda önerilerde bulunulacaktır.
