“…We show these data in Table 1. Comparing Brazilian studies that adopted the same data collection instrument, the investigation by D’Souza, Oliveira et al (2019) found an average slightly above truex¯ = 13.68 with business students. Lima et al (2018) found a lower mean, truex¯ = 12.62, with accounting students.…”

“…Individuals with nonpathological traits of narcissism are characterized by an excess of superiority, self-sufficiency, authority, vanity, exhibitionism, exploitation and a sense of entitlement (Raskin & Terry, 1988). Narcissism has been the subject of studies on marketing strategy (Reche, Bertolini, & Debona, 2020), the need for power (D’Souza, Oliveira, Almeida, & Natividade, 2019), profile analyses of accounting students (Lima Filho, de Souza, & D’Souza, 2019), cultural values of accounting students (D’Souza & Lima, 2019), career choices in accounting (D'Souza & de Lima, 2018), academic performance (Lima, Avelino, & Cunha, 2018), discourse analysis in administrative reports of companies involved in financial scandals (D’Souza, Aragão, & De Luca, 2018) and academic dishonesty (Avelino & de Lima, 2017).…”

Purpose This study aims to analyze the relationship between the nonpathological traits of narcissism and decisions under conditions of uncertainty and risk in light of the prospect (PT) and fuzzy-trace theories (FTT). Design/methodology/approach This paper conducted an empirical-theoretical study with 210 Brazilian academics from the business area (accountants and managers), using a self-reported questionnaire to collect data. This paper analyzed the data through descriptive statistical techniques, correlation, test of hypotheses and logistic regression. Findings The results point to a lower disposition of respondents to narcissistic traits, although the characteristics of self-sufficiency, authority, exploitation and superiority have been demonstrated. Most participants chose the sure gain in positive scenarios and risk in light of possibility of losses. However, those with high levels of narcissism showed higher propensity to make risky decisions, both in positive and negative scenarios. Research limitations/implications The empirical results about risky decision-making behavior of individuals with narcissist traits spur further investigation on the impacts of attitudes and behaviors in organizations as they are affected by psychosocial factors. These attitudes and behaviors, reflected in administrative and financial reports, influence future decisions of investors. Originality/value The interaction between the areas of business administration and psychology in regard to the effects of the narcissist personality trait and the FTT is both original and valuable for the business area. The simplest scenario based on the FTT theory can help eliminate issues around the interpretation and complexities of calculations regarding decision-making scenarios in PT format.

“…In this sense, Lin et al (2019) state that the narcissistic traits of CEOs directly affect financial decisions. In this regard, it can be argued that when managing thirdparty capital, narcissistic individuals can make riskier decisions without any shame (D'Souza et al, 2019), that is, companies led by narcissists face high-risk behavior (O'Reilly et al, 2018). Based on the premise that CEOs' characteristics influence firms' strategic decisions, as advocated by UET, this study developed the following research hypothesis: CEOs' narcissistic personality traits are positively related to firms' indebtedness.…”

The objective of this article is to investigate the influence of CEO narcissistic personality traits on the indebtedness of Brazilian non-financial companies listed on the B3. Other research on narcissistic traits has focused on their impact on the profitability of organizations. Thus, this study aims to fill the gap in understanding the impact of CEO narcissistic traits on companies' debt decisions and their determinants by including a psychological characteristic. This research is relevant because it helps academics, business professionals and policymakers to identify patterns and trends that could warn of possible financial crises. The impact of this article is related to the evidence on the effects of hiring narcissistic CEOs on indebtedness, since understanding the interaction between the CEO's profile and the company's financial decisions can provide practical guidelines for risk management and informed decision making, thus contributing to the field of business strategy and corporate finance. A sample of 299 non-financial companies was analyzed from 2011 to 2020, using data from the Economática database, annual reports, integrated reports, sustainability reports and management reports. Two proxies were used to measure narcissistic personality traits, based on the CEO's signature and the prominence of his or her photo. Indebtedness was measured by the following indicators: onerous, total, short-term and long-term debt. The results show that the greater the narcissistic traits of the CEOs, the greater the indebtedness of the organizations. This contributes to a deeper understanding of the factors that influence companies' financial decisions, since identifying the factors that lead to risky debt decisions can enable the implementation of preventive measures and more effective risk management strategies.
