Abstract
Why and how do the narcissistic tendencies of family CEOs influence the likelihood of successor appointments? Drawing on the upper echelons theory and the socioemotional wealth perspective, we explore how the adaptive and maladaptive aspects of CEO narcissism will either promote or hinder the appointment of successors. CEOs with elevated levels of leadership/authority often appoint successors to instill family values and identities. Conversely, those with pronounced tendencies toward exhibitionism/entitlement tend to postpone successor appointments. Analyzing survey data from CEOs of 462 small- and medium-sized family manufacturing firms in Tokyo, Japan, we found considerable support for our hypothesized relationships.
