ABSTRACT

A superiority complex is a way of behaving where an individual feels they are better than others. He brings about a feeling of prevalence in the working environment.  This complex is a mental problem that highlights one’s self-image, causing a deceptive conviction that they are superior to other people. Side effects of an inferiority complex include high confidence, overstated claims, regard for appearance, mental self-view of being prevalent, not being ready to pay attention to other people, overcompensation for specific components of life, state of mood swings, and a hidden identity worth and inadequacy. The reason for a superiority complex is indistinct, yet it could be because of numerous blunders or disappointments, prompting serious insecurities. Working with somebody with a superiority complex can make life troublesome, as they might foster a pompous mentality, prompting burnout. Furthermore, they might have a penchant for self-absorption, accepting that others are mentally, socially, financially, and monetarily sub-par compared to them. The present paper is an insight into the deeper understanding of people with superiority complexes towards subordinates in the work environment.
