This study builds on insights from both upper echelons and agency perspectives to examine the effects on corporate social responsibility ( CSR ) practices of CEO 's narcissism. Drawing on prior theory about CEO narcissism, we argue that CSR can be a response to leaders' personal needs for attention and image reinforcement and hypothesize that CEO narcissism has positive effects on levels and profile of organizational CSR ; additionally, CEO narcissism will reduce the effect of CSR on performance. We find support for our ideas with a sample of F ortune 500 CEOs , operationalizing CEO narcissism with a novel media‐based measurement technique that uses third‐party ratings of CEO characteristics with validated psychometric scales .
