Abstract


Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is a serious challenge in modern workplace environments; however, early detection and appropriate intervention remain unmet needs. This research aims to address the issue by proposing an intelligent system model based on machine learning, utilizing the Gradient Boosting method to predict NPD. The Gradient Boosting method was chosen for its ability to handle complex data and gradually improve prediction performance. This model is integrated with employee data, including a range of psychological, behavioral, and demographic variables relevant to NPD. The primary contribution of this research is the development of a predictive model that can assist organizations in identifying and providing early intervention to employees at risk of developing NPD. In doing so, it is expected to reduce the negative impact of NPD on the workplace, such as interpersonal conflicts and decreased productivity. The study shows significant results in the model's classification performance after applying Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE) to optimize the Gradient Boosting method. The accuracy rate reached 82%, an improvement from the previous 79% achieved using the Gradient Boosting Classifier. This indicates that the RFE-Gradient Boosting model has greater potential in classifying employees who genuinely have narcissistic personality disorder versus those who do not.
