You might find this article enlightening: The disturbing link between psychopathy and leadership.

And this book: Snakes in Suits: When psychopaths go to work. One of the authors, Robert Hare, is probably the leading expert in the world on psychopathology.

Although I am not an expert in the subject, some of examples given in the NYTimes article would strongly suggest some of Amazon's managers are psychopathic. The complete lack of empathy displayed for subordinates, to the point of outright cruelty, is a strong indicator.
