As one of the top universities in Indonesia, Intitut Teknologi Bandung is expected to produce <br /> <br /> graduates who are competent, with qualified skills. As previously mentioned by Satrio <br /> <br /> Madigondo, a head hunter who had observed the personality trends in ITB graduates for four <br /> <br /> years, he assumed the ITB graduates he ever met were having a high tendency towards narcissism <br /> <br /> compared to the other graduates from two other top universities in Indonesia such as Universitas <br /> <br /> Indonesia and Universitas Gadjah Mada. He also added that it is quite striking and disrupting the <br /> <br /> recruitment process. This research aims to become one of the explicit research on narcissism <br /> <br /> levels among the students in Institut Teknologi Bandung and also to analyze the implication of <br /> <br /> narcissism towards their career expectations. in the future. There are four aspects of narcisism, <br /> <br /> Exploitativeness / Entitlement, Leadership / Authority, Superiority / Arrogance, and SelfAbsorption <br /> <br /> / <br /> <br /> Self-Admiration <br /> <br /> And, <br /> <br /> the <br /> <br /> three <br /> <br /> assessment <br /> <br /> aspects <br /> <br /> of <br /> <br /> career <br /> <br /> expectations <br /> <br /> are <br /> <br /> ease <br /> <br /> <br /> of <br /> <br /> <br /> finding a job, income expectations, and promotion expecations. This research used samples <br /> <br /> from business and industrial engineering discipline because based on the previous research , it <br /> <br /> found that narcissistic tendencies such as materialistic values and money importance tend to be <br /> <br /> enhanced in business students (e.g., Robak et al., 2007; Vansteenskiste, Duriez, Simons, & <br /> <br /> Soenens, 2006) and the industrial engineering discipline seems particularly relevant since the <br /> <br /> origin of business schools in Institut Teknologi Bandung from the Department of Industrial <br /> <br /> Engineering. A quantitative approach is applied by spreading online questionnaire to business <br /> <br /> students and industrial engineering students in Institut Teknologi Bandung and collecting 445 <br /> <br /> reponses in total. The results assessed by using Independent Sample T-Test, One Way Analysis <br /> <br /> of Variance (ANOVA), Two Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and Multivariate Analysis <br /> <br /> Covariance (MANCOVA). The findings revealed that the business students in Institut Teknologi <br /> <br /> Bandung have significantly higher levels of narcissism compared to industrial engineering <br /> <br /> students, despite of controlling for gender and place of origin and the high levels of narcissism <br /> <br /> will lead to higher expectation toward career in the future. <br /> <br /> Keywords : narcissism, career, business, industrial engineering, higher education
