A Multi-Level Review of Impression Management Motives and Behaviors

Abstract: This article selectively reviews studies of impression management (IM) published since 1988 and identifies strengths, limitations, and future research directions in three key areas: research investigating the use of IM at the individual level of analysis (e.g., performance appraisal); research that applies IM theory, concepts, and thinking to better understand organizational phenomena (e.g., feedback seeking); and research investigating organizational-level IM (e.g., how firms create legitimacy).

“…The theory proposes that consumers are affected by their internal drive to create a favorable social image, a behavior inherent to luxury consumption, and consequently such motives can reflect consumer values and behaviors (Leary and Kowalski 1990). The impression management theory is widely applied across cultures and domains (see Bolino et al 2008;Shukla 2012), and offers an appropriate framework for this study.…”

“…Impression management tactics allow individuals to maintain or create an image of themselves that they promote to another individual (Bozeman & Kacmar, 1997). While use of impression management has been found to positively relate to interview outcomes (Bolino, Kacmar, Turnley, & Gilstrap, 2008), engaging in these types of actions is often opposed by those of lower class (Williams, 2012).
