Abstract

Chaos is a source of life and also a reality for organizations and people as living and self-organizing systems. Management theory also deals with the internal struggle present in a tense, nervous person, and that such a person's attempts to organize and control the world are actually attempts to control and organize him/herself. Narcissistic leaders can both positively and negatively influence organizations. In chaotic situations, how do leaders manage chaos according to managerial narcissism point of view? This chapter aims to find an answer to the question of how managerial narcissism affects organizations, and how this effect can be measured. To answer this question, a scale of managerial narcissism was developed. In the two stage scale we developed for Managerial Narcissism, it can be seen that there are strong, positive relationships between each sub-dimension and that all dimensions are related to each other. In other words, the scale is well suited to measure how managerial narcissism affects an organization.
