Considerations for HR, Consultants, and Organizational Psychologists

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Narcissism at Work

Abstract

After focusing on specific tools that both individuals and organizations can use when working with NPD leaders, Germain highlights techniques that HR, consultants, and organizational psychologists can use to detect signs of distress in employees who may be affected by a coworker with NPD, before offering strategies to help those distressed employees cope. Germain forewarns of potential NPD behaviors that HR professionals may notice at the time of recruitment. She then provides examples of legal considerations to take into account when working with employees with NPD, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act. The chapter ends with an overview of workplace bullying and employee harassment.
