The current dissertation sheds light on aspects of narcissism within different professional contexts and personal situations, and in relation to gender role attitudes and advice taking.
In the first chapter, the core concepts of narcissism, gender role attitudes and advice taking are defined and brought together with different professional contexts, e.g., managerial vs. non-managerial positions or STEM vs. non-STEM fields, and different personal situations, e.g., having a daughter or having only sons or no children. The outline of the dissertation is then presented.
In the second chapter, the manuscript “Don’t Tell Me What To Do! Narcissism and Advice Taking: A Meta-Analysis and Future Research Directions” is presented. We conducted a meta-analysis by integrating contradictory published and unpublished research and investigated whether narcissists are less likely to take advice than others, and further, if this is independent of the expertise of the possible advice giver. With different meta-analytic models, we found a small and stable negative correlation between narcissism and advice taking, but we did not find significant moderators. We then discussed theoretical and practical implications.
In the third chapter, the manuscript “Managers’ Traditional Gender Role Attitudes: Diverging Relations with Admiration and Rivalry and the Daughter Effect” is presented. In this manuscript, the relationships between different dimensions of narcissism (i.e., admiration and rivalry) and gender role attitudes is examined in the professional context of management. The personal situation of having a daughter or only having sons or no children is also examined as both a main effect and as a moderator. As expected, admiration was negatively, and rivalry positively, related to traditional gender role attitudes. Partial support for the daughter effect was found. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
In the fourth chapter, the manuscript “Traditional Gender Role Attitudes in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM): Are STEM Managers More Modern Than Others?” is presented. In this manuscript, the presence of traditional gender role attitudes is examined in different professional contexts, i.e., in STEM vs. non-STEM fields. We also examined this in an exploratory manner in management vs. non-management positions. Overall, the results show that gender role attitudes are more traditional in men, older, non-managerial and non-STEM employees. Additionally, a gender gap was found. Implications are discussed.
In the fifth chapter, theoretical and practical implications are discussed and future research fields are outlined.
