“…In fact, the instrumental importance of modesty has always been acknowledged. For example, a number of researchers appeared to be more concerned with modesty’s extrinsic importance rather than its intrinsic values in their theories (Fu et al, 2011; Heyman et al, 2011; Han, 2012; Diekmann et al, 2015). Some of them equate modesty directly with instrumental modesty.…”

“…Similarly, in public or in the presence of authorities, people like to keep a low profile and not show off their strengths or abilities. In this case, modesty can be considered as a kind of impression management tactic (Chen et al, 2009; Diekmann et al, 2015). Trait modesty refers to one’s general tendencies toward self-effacement, other enhancement, and avoidance of attention seeking (Chen et al, 2009).…”

“…Tangney (2000) appears to focus more on modesty’s intrinsic values and can apparently subsumed under our value modesty perspectives. Another example is that a number of researchers appeared to be more concerned with modesty’s extrinsic importance in their theories (Fu et al, 2011; Heyman et al, 2011; Han, 2012; Diekmann et al, 2015), which can be subsumed under our instrumental perspectives.

This paper describes the development and method of validation of the Chinese Modesty Scale (CMS). Based on Wang’s dualistic model for value and instrumental modesty, our study employed a review of the literature, in-depth interviews, open-ended investigations, and feedback from experts. An initial 14-item scale for analyzing the issue of “Chinese modesty” was developed. Then we explored the dimensions and final items of this CMS using item analysis and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) with sample 1 (n = 406). After that, we conducted a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to replicate the factor structure obtained through EFA with a refined, independent, 12-item scale (n = 662). Results confirmed the dualistic model (for value and instrumental modesty) on which this scale was based. That is, we found that there are two kinds of “Chinese modesty”: value modesty and instrumental modesty. As a valid, reliable scale, the CMS can therefore be used to measure the “Chinese modesty” of/in different age groups.

“…According to this approach, the managerial pattern is different across subordinates and changes in keeping with the quality of the manager employee relationship (Tzinerr & Barsheshet-Picke, Tzinerr & Barsheshet-Picke, 2014). If employees slightly downplay a clearly superior performance and put it into perspective, supervisors may conclude that the employees are neither surprised nor too impressed by their own success: The employees' reaction suggests that they are used to performing well, which in turn points to a high level of competence (Diekmann, Blickle, Hafner & Peters, 2015). For above reasons, a leader judges the employee by impression also a leader always sets an example for their employee, so that this work supposes when an employee creates its impression depends on the role which leader played.…”

“…Impression management research has identified several self-presentation tactics that employees use in order to create favorable impressions and to advance their careers (Diekmann, Blickle, Hafner, & Peters, 2015). As well the importance of leaders' role in managing stakeholders' impressions of an organization has long been recognized in leadership research (e.g., Gardner & Avolio, 1998;Gioia & Chittipeddi, 1991;Pfeffer, 1981), and leaders' ability to manage impressions is often linked to their effectiveness, especially in difficult and challenging situations (e.g., Coombs & Holladay, 2008;Ewen, Wihler, Blickle, Oerder, Ellen III, Douglas, & Ferris, 2013;McDonnell & King, 2013;Sosik, Avolio, & Jung, 2002;Zavyalova, Pfarrer, Reger, & Shapiro, 2012).…”
