Abstract
Cultures of performativity may contribute to organizational
and individual arrogance. Workplace organizations have individuals
who at various times will display arrogance, which may manifest
in behaviours, such as an exaggerated sense of self-importance, dismissiveness
of others, condescending behaviors and an impatient
manner. Arrogance is not a flattering label and irrespective of the
reason or the position of power, in the context of organizational
behaviors, may not be useful and may even be detrimental to the
work environment. Thus, it is timely to reflect on the implications
of arrogance in the workplace. Advocacy and empowerment can
be undermined and relationships adversely impacted, including
the achievement of positive consumer outcomes. This paper provides
an introduction to arrogance, and then discusses arrogance
to promote awareness of the potential consequences of arrogance
and its constituent behaviors.
