Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore the antecedents of perceived overqualification
(POQ) and to investigate its relationship with relevant work behaviors and perceptions.
Supervisory (N = 208) and self-reports (N = 415) were collected. Results indicate that POQ
is predicted by narcissism and certain work dimensions, including task repetition and the
presence of a uniform requirement. POQ is also related to lower job satisfaction and
organizational commitment, and higher turnover intentions. Further research is needed to
address POQ’s relationship to absenteeism and truancy.
