Abstract

The current study aims to investigate the effect of managerial narcissism and Machiavellianism on leader–member exchange (LMX) quality and the mediating role of managerial corporate psychopathic behaviour in the aforementioned relationships. A questionnaire was designed and distributed to management professionals working in the Singaporean construction sector. A total of 300 responses were collected and analysed through SPSS version 26 and SmartPLS 4 software. The results demonstrated that managerial narcissism and Machiavellianism were negatively associated with LMX quality. The findings of this study showed that managerial narcissism and Machiavellianism facilitate managerial corporate psychopathic behaviour. The study also found that a negative relationship exists between managerial corporate psychopathic behaviour and LMX quality. Most importantly, the study provided valuable empirical evidence on the mediating effect of managerial corporate psychopathic behaviour in the relationships between narcissism and LMX quality and between Machiavellianism and LMX quality, thereby highlighting the underlying mechanism interconnecting the variables. Practically, this study draws attention to the need for construction corporations to create an organizational culture emphasizing collaboration instead of hierarchy and autocracy to minimize the indifference between managers and subordinates.
揭开新加坡建筑业经理人自恋、马基雅维利主义与领导者-成员交流之间的联系:作为中介的经理人企业变态心理行为
本研究旨在探讨管理者自恋和马基雅维利主义对领导者-成员交流(LMX)质量的影响,以及管理者的企业心理变态行为在上述关系中的中介作用。我们设计了一份调查问卷,并分发给在新加坡建筑行业工作的专业管理人员。共收集了 300 份答复,并通过 SPSS 26 版和 SmartPLS 4 软件进行了分析。结果表明,管理者的自恋和马基雅维利主义与 LMX 质量呈负相关。研究结果表明,管理者自恋和马基雅维利主义会助长管理者的企业心理变态行为。研究还发现,管理者的企业心理变态行为与 LMX 质量之间存在负相关关系。最重要的是,本研究提供了有价值的实证证据,证明管理者企业心理变态行为在自恋与 LMX 质量、马基雅维利主义与 LMX 质量之间存在中介效应,从而凸显了变量之间的内在联系机制。实际上,本研究提醒人们注意,建筑企业需要创建一种强调协作而非等级和专制的组织文化,以尽量减少管理者与下属之间的冷漠。
