Employee followership predispositions: Their perceptions of narcissistic traits in supervisors

We investigated the relationship between employee perceptions of narcissistic supervision and employee followership. Further, we investigated the influences of employee proactive personality, self-efficacy, political skill, and team political climate on said relationship. Data were from 383 employees of a large Chinese IT enterprise (female = 37.33%, mean age = 36.85 years, SD = 8.57 years; mean year of experience = 2.34 years, SD = 1.56 years). Multi-level structural equation modelling and bootstrap analyses resultsindicated that follower proactive personality positively moderated the relationship between follower self-efficacy and employee followership. Follower self-efficacy and team political climate influenced employee followership under narcissistic supervision. These results suggest employee work predispositions to likely buffer the influences of narcissistic supervision on employee followership.
