International Journal of Selection and Assessment, 29(3–4), 352–366. A theoretical model of cross-cultural impression management in employment interviews. Impression Management Theory and Social Psychological Research, 311, 334.Īrseneault, R., & Roulin, N. International Journal of Selection and Assessment, 27(4), 315–327. Why does impression management positively influence interview ratings? The mediating role of competence and warmth. Do employees leave just because they can? Examining the perceived employability–turnover intentions relationship. These findings make a valuable contribution to the research on work uncertainty and impression management, further deepening our insights into the application of impression management strategies within crisis contexts.Īcikgoz, Y., Sumer, H. Additionally, the results demonstrated a positive correlation between the interaction of regulatory focus and job security and the adoption of assertive or defensive impression management. The results showed COVID-19-induced work uncertainty can positively impact employee impression management, and job security mediates this relationship. To examine the proposed model, we gathered data from a sample of 571 employees working in China. Furthermore, we explored how regulatory focus plays a crucial role in connecting decreased job security to impression management behavior. Therefore, drawing upon the conservation of resources theory and regulatory focus theory, we investigated when and how COVID-19-induced work uncertainty affects employee impression management (i.e., assertive and defensive impression management). Although existing research has emphasized the crucial role of individual impression management in managing uncertainty, no researchers have yet examined the potential link between uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic and employee impression management. The COVID-19 pandemic, as a typical crisis event, has disrupted employees’ lives and organizations’ workplaces, creating significant uncertainty and stress.
