Better than my loved ones: Social comparison tendencies among narcissists (2010, background): “Although narcissists are very interested in associating with powerful and popular others (e.g., Campbell & Foster, 2002; Morf & Rhodewalt, 2001) they can react with hostility when experiencing upward comparisons in their daily life (Bogart et al., 2004).”
Master of Puppets: How Narcissistic CEOs Construct Their Professional Worlds (2017, background): “As noted earlier, narcissistic CEOs can be charming and agreeable when it serves their purposes (Bogart et al., 2004; Jonason &Webster, 2012).”
CEO Narcissism, Audience Engagement, and Organizational Adoption of Technological Discontinuities (2013, background): “The fuel for this reaffirmation, which Kernberg (1975) called ‘‘narcissistic supply,’’ can come from narcissists themselves, primarily in the forms of exhibitionism and diminishment of others (Bogart, Benotsch, and Pavlovic, 2004).”
The Evil Queen's Dilemma: Linking Narcissistic Admiration and Rivalry to Benign and Malicious Envy (2016, background): “Their data indicate that narcissistic admiration and rivalry capture the diversity of narcissistic behaviour in a more comprehensive manner than narcissism as assessed by the NPI.”
