We investigated the role of personality in understanding impression management (IM) behaviors Effective employee behaviors are tangible and visible in organizational environments
We believe that understanding the dispositional underpinnings of impression management behaviors can inform as to the potential impact of impression management in the workplace and, importantly, the extent to which others can accurately detect IM impression management At a broad level, we propose that these answers and a more thorough understanding of impression management can be gained through the use of the EXACO model of personality, the trait of Honesty-Humility (10)
Summary
Impression management (IM) describes behaviors individuals engage to influence impressions others have of them (1). A great deal of research has sought on understand the antecedents of IM behavior, including who is likely to use such behavior, as well as the situational and contextual variables that can promote or constrain such behavior (4) Expanding on this tradition, the present study sought to enhance our understanding of impression management by examining these behavior through a dispositional lens, most notably with a focus on a personality dimension called Honesty-Humility. We believe that understanding the dispositional underpinnings of impression management behaviors can inform as to the potential impact of impression management in the workplace and, importantly, the extent to which others can accurately detect IM impression management At a broad level, we propose that these answers and a more thorough understanding of impression management can be gained through the use of the EXACO model of personality, the trait of Honesty-Humility (10). Research findings The results of the analysis of variance (repeated measurements) showed that there is a significant difference between the different personality traits in the staff of the government agencies (Table 1), and the staff are more accountable and less likely to be socially responsible
