A six-year study co-authored by organizational psychologist Adam Grant suggests that a leader's narcissism is a primary driver behind return-to-office mandates. Researchers used behavioral proxies like signature and photo size in annual reports to score CEO narcissism, finding a direct correlation between higher scores and opposition to remote work. The study posits that leaders with inflated egos may favor in-office work because power is more easily performed and displayed in person, potentially overlooking the benefits of flexible arrangements for employees.
