regressed servant leadership on CEO narcissism, founder status, and the
control variables as shown in Table 2, Regression 1. In support of Hy-
pothesis 1, CEO narcissism negatively predicted servant leadership ( =
0.23, P0.05). Supporting Hypothesis 2, CEOfounder status positively
predicted servant leadership ( = 0.33, P 0.01).
Next, we tested Hypotheses 3a and 3b, predicting that organizational
identication partially mediates the relationship between the antecedents
(CEO narcissism and founder status) and the outcome of servant leader-
ship. We followed the traditional four-step approach outlined by Baron
and Kenny (1986) for testing mediation. The rst step was to demon-
strate a signicant relationship between the predictors and the outcome
(supported by the signicant results for the test of Hypotheses 1 and 2).
Although this step is no longer considered to be requisite in some cases
(for overview, see Frazier, Tix, & Barron, 2004), it was conrmed in this
instance. Step 2 involved establishing a relationship between the predic-
tors and the potential mediator. In order to establish this relationship,
we regressed CEO organizational identication on CEO narcissism, CEO
founder status, and the control variables as shown in Table 2, Regression
2. CEO narcissism ( = 0.26, P 0.01) and CEO founder status ( =
0.27, P 0.01) each signicantly predicted organizational identication
in the expected direction.
The third step involved demonstrating a relationship between the medi-
ator and outcome variable. In a third regression (Table 2, Regression 3), we
