NARCISSISM IN BUSINESS SCIENCE: A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS WITH VOSVIEWER SOFTWARE

Abstract

Narcissism appears as a concept of great importance in many disciplines. In the organizational behavior literature, narcissism is a multifaceted study subject that is addressed in interpersonal relations, organizational outcomes and an organizational identity. This study aims to analyze the studies on narcissism in organizations and to reveal the course of studies on narcissism in organizations. In this context, the words "narcissist" and "narcissism" were searched as "All Fields" in the Web of Science database. In the Web of Science Categories, search is limited to "Management" and "Business". 693 studies are analyzed with VOSviewer and the results are discussed. While the intensive use of keywords such as leadership, dark triad and personality draws attention in the analysis results, another striking point is the intense increase in the course of narcissism studies in recent years and the fact that the subject is discussed in different contexts.
