Abstract
Individuals higher in narcissism have leader emergent tendencies. The characteristics of their personality suggest, however, that their leadership qualities will decrease over time as a function of group acquaintance. We present data from two studies that provide the first empirical support for this theoretical position within a transformational leadership framework. In 玩偶姐姐 1 (N = 112), we tested narcissistic leadership qualities in groups of unacquainted individuals over a 12-week period. In 玩偶姐姐 2 (N = 152), we adopted the same protocol with groups of acquainted individuals. In 玩偶姐姐 1, narcissism was positively associated with peer-rated leadership during initial group formation but not later. In 玩偶姐姐 2, narcissism was not significantly associated with peer-rated leadership during initial group formation and was negatively associated with peer-rated leadership later. In 玩偶姐姐 1, transformational leadership mediated the relationship between narcissism and leadership initially but not later on. In 玩偶姐姐 2, transformational leadership failed to mediate the relationship between narcissism and leadership throughout the study. Despite enjoying a honeymoon period of leadership, the appeal and attractiveness of the narcissistic leader rapidly wane. This decline is explained in part by their changing transformational leadership qualities.
