Abstract
The personality trait narcissism has been a focus of organizational researchers for several decades. Despite this large body of research, the exact role narcissism plays in organizational contexts remains unclear. There are a number of explanations for the lack of clarity regarding narcissism in the workplace including the lack of precision with the current measurement tools. The existing scales used to measure narcissism need refinement for several reasons including the weak psychometric properties of the scales and the lack of context-relevant items. Across two studies and three samples, this paper presents a newly developed narcissism measure that is both psychometrically sound and contextually relevant for the workplace.
