Abstract
Within and outside of the workplace, individuals regularly engage in impression management, or attempts to manage how they are perceived by others to create positive impressions of themselves (Bolino & Turnley, 2003; Jones & Pittman, 1982; Wayne & Liden, 1995). Despite the importance of cultivating a good impression, it is not uncommon for individuals to misunderstand how certain behaviors will be perceived by others (Steinmetz, Sezer, & Sedikides, 2016). The five papers in this symposium each address an important aspect of impression management and highlight nuances that provide a greater understanding of 1) when and why impression mismanagements might occur and 2) how individuals can become better impression managers so they can more effectively reach their goals. These papers examine various forms of impression management, both through language and actions, and discuss how context affects the extent to which impression management is successful. How does Variability Affect Humanization?
