Abstract
ABSTRACTUtilizing a panel data set consisting of 144 Middle East and North African (MENA) banks covering the period 2014–2021, this study (a) explores the correlation between CEO narcissism and insolvency risk (risk‐taking) and (b) investigates whether certain CEO attributes can moderate this association. We identify a significant positive relationship between CEO narcissism and insolvency risk, shedding light on the dark side of CEO narcissism as elucidated within the upper echelons theory. Furthermore, our findings indicate that the presence of returnee CEOs or politically connected CEOs strengthens the aforementioned relationship by increasing the likelihood of narcissistic CEOs contributing to amplify insolvency risk.
