The Effect Machiavellianism Has On Managers
Machiavellianism is a construct which has been widely researched by contemporary
scholars across the globe. ... Damon has touched on how these political recommendations can be adopted in the business realm and Jenny has discussed how Machiavellianism is a way of thinking, which leads on to my section of study, why do certain managers adopt this way of thinking in their management methods, and what external factors differentiate some managers to others.
This is a relevant study because it is essential to assess differences in managers to establish why or why not these managers adopt Machiavellianism to their management methods and if so to what magnitude. I will discuss differences in managers as it is important in fully understanding the second part of our question, why does Machiavellianism affect some managers more than others.
As it is illustrated in our management book, Machiavellianism is “a measure of the degree to which people are pragmatic, maintain emotional distance and believe that ends justify the means”. As Jenny has talked about, Machiavellianism is not a given set of rules that managers need to follow; but a way of thinking.
