Narcissism and Motivation for the Pastorate

Zondag, Hessel·2006·Journal of Empirical Theology

Abstract

This article describes an empirical study of the relationship between narcissism and motivation for the pastorate. Narcissism has been a key concept in the psychology of personality in recent decades, in an age in which personal life has acquired central status. Motivation is a vital concept in the study of how pastors function. Narcissism may explain part of the dynamics behind motivation for the pastorate. Several types of motivation for the pastorate and dimensions of narcissism are distinguished. In the case of motivation for the pastorate, these are a Christian way of life, anthropocentric altruism, anthropocentric egoism, and theocentric egoism, and in the case of narcissism, these are centripetal narcissism, centrifugal narcissism, isolation, and self-satisfaction. The meaning of the relationship between motivation for the pastorate and narcissism for stress and burnout is discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
