Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to examine whether job-related attitudes (e.g., job satisfaction) would mediate the associations that narcissistic personality features had with job commitment. We distinguished between two dimensions of grandiose narcissism: narcissistic admiration (i.e., a form of agentic self-enhancement) and narcissistic rivalry (i.e., a form of antagonistic self-protection). Analyses revealed that job satisfaction, job investment, and organizational pride mediated the positive association that narcissistic admiration had with job commitment as well as the negative association that narcissistic rivalry had with job commitment. Discussion addresses the benefits of distinguishing between narcissistic admiration and narcissistic rivalry when considering the connections that narcissism has with job-related attitudes and job commitment.
