- Abstract
This article explores the relationship between grandiose narcissism and organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs), with a focus on the mediational role of prosocial motivation. The authors propose that narcissistic admiration promotes prosocial motivation, while narcissistic rivalry inhibits it. The study involved an online survey of 426 full-time employees, and the results supported the hypotheses that prosocial motivation mediates the positive association between narcissistic admiration and OCBs, as well as the negative association between narcissistic rivalry and OCBs. The findings contribute to the understanding of grandiose narcissism and prosociality, particularly in an Eastern society context. However, the study's cross-sectional approach and reliance on self-ratings limit the ability to draw causal conclusions. Future research could incorporate multiple data sources and longitudinal or experimental designs.
