Maybe he just wants to brag with his h-index. Or he uses the citation metrics to appear more prestigious when applying to grants or presenting himself in general. Or he has some bonus tied to publication numbers. Or he siphons off the publication fees as he owns the journal.

  Everyone he forces to. Its very common for seniors to pressure younger researchers to cite their papers.
