Do “narcissistic bosses” dislike remote work more? U.S. university surveys Fortune 500 CEOs and managers: Innovative Tech

A Wharton School study found that CEOs and managers with stronger narcissistic traits are more likely to oppose remote work.

The finding came from analyses of Fortune 500 CEOs and multiple surveys of U.S. managers.

The research suggests office-return policies may reflect not just productivity concerns, but also leaders’ desire for power, status, and recognition.

The study was published in Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes and may inform future work-style policy reviews.
