Abstract

© 2025, IGI Global. All rights reserved.This chapter brings the development and results of a bibliometric analysis carried out with scientific articles published in Top Journals between 1992 and 2023, to identify what scientific studies have been discovering about the relationship between narcissistic CEOs and corporate sustainable performance. Identifying this relationship sheds light on how the governance of different companies considers sustainability. This analysis was developed in five steps and with the help of VOSViewer (version 1.6.19). As for the main results, it was identified that the number of publications in the area over the years varied, with an increase in the number of articles from 2020 onwards in different journals. The study also showed that the concepts, relevance, and impact of research in the area were diverse, demonstrating that personality traits of CEOs, especially when narcissistic, can influence corporate sustainable performance in different ways in different countries.
