[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]The research which compared the signatures of some 605 [url=http://www.enread.com/news/cultureandedu/91858.html]CEO[/url]s of US firms found that size does matter where boss's autographs are concerned.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]It found that bosses with bigger signatures also tended to get the highest pay, but were in fact more likely to run their companies into the ground.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]The study by academics at the Feenan-Flagler Business School at the University of North Carolina took the signatures of CEOs from company accounts filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]The authors identify[b] narcissism（自恋）[/b] as an [b]egotistical（任性的）[/b] character trait 'associated with conceit and disregard for others'.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]'Similarly, narcissism creates biased self-perception in the form of upwardly biased evaluation of one's own abilities and [url=http://www.enread.com/news/cultureandedu/91858.html]performance[/url],' they say in the paper.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]These qualities make them bad decision makers, the study says, but enables them to convince directors and shareholders of their competency to the extent that they get better pay.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Professor Sean Wang, one of three authors of the study, told ABC News that the 605 signatures analysed were found largely on annual reports and other documents filed by S&P 500 companies as of July 2011.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Signatures were fed into a custom coded computer program which drew a[b] rectangle（矩形）[/b] around each of them and measured the area they covered.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]'We standardized the measure by dividing the area by the number letters in the CEO's signature,' Professor Wang said.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Professor Wang said he and his co-authors relied on findings from previous psychological studies which claimed that bigger signatures mean bigger egos.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Using the size of the signature as a proxy for the writers' narcissism, they found that [url=http://www.enread.com/news/cultureandedu/91858.html]narcissistic[/url] CEOs invest more in capital expenditures and acquisitions but pay lower [b]dividends（股息，红利）[/b], with overinvestments being largest in magnitude when financial slack is high.[/size][/font]
