Critical Incidents in the Behaviour of Corporate Psychopaths

Abstract

A separate piece of research to that which forms the backbone of this book provides information on some questions about Corporate Psychopaths that have been raised by other commentators and researchers into psychopathy. Questionnaires concerning whether respondents had worked with people whom they thought of as Corporate Psychopaths were given out to seventy-two postgraduate business students. This research was conducted over a series of three lectures and discussions on Corporate Psychopaths for mature students studying organisational behaviour as a part of their MBA or other master’s degrees in Perth, Western Australia. Sixty-one questionnaires were completed and returned, and these were analysed using an academic data analysis software package.
