Abstract: This study examines key mechanisms through which CEO narcissism influences globalperformance variance in the context of Asian emerging market multinational enterprises. Buildingon the contextual reinforcement model of narcissism and the cushion hypothesis, we focus on therole of foreign direct investment (FDI) risk-taking and business group affiliation (BGA). We testour moderated mediation model on data from 149 South Korean multinational enterprises from2006 to 2016. The results show that CEO narcissism is positively associated with FDI risk-taking.The effect of CEO narcissism on global performance variance is mediated by FDI risk-taking.Furthermore, BGA moderates the above-mentioned relationships. Our findings offer importantcontributions to the international business and CEO narcissism literatures.
