Interviewers' perceptions of impression management in employment interviews (2014, background): “…best interest to develop specific training programs or to implement interview formats (e.g. more structured interviews or past-behavioral questions, see Kristof-Brown et al., 2002; Bolino et al., 2008; Ellis et al., 2002; Levashina and Campion, 2007) that help interviewers see things more clearly.”
Temporary Employment and Perceived Employability: Mediation by Impression Management (2010, methodology): “The instrument developed by Wayne and Ferris is perhaps most widely used (Bolino, Kacmar, Turnley, & Gilstrap, 2008) and, though some problems have been reported with the underlying factor structure, psychometric qualities are generally satisfactory (Bolino et al., 2006, 2008).”
Accounting for the Unaccountable: Biodiversity Reporting and Impression Management (2014, positive): “Most of this literature has focused on the individual level (Bolino et al. 2008; Lim 2002).”
Ready, AIM, Acquire: Impression Offsetting and Acquisitions (2015, background): “…researchers have documented that organizational leaders actively engage in impression management activities, we know very little about the effectiveness of such activities on organizational outcomes (see Bolino et al., 2008 for a recent review; see also Zavyalova, Pfarrer, Reger, & Shapiro, 2012).”
Forming digital self and parasocial relationships on YouTube (2016, positive): “Based on the previous literature and interviews (Bolino and Turnley, 2003; Bolino et al., 2008; Jones and Pittman, 1982), this study further constructs a taxonomy of digital-self presentation strategies on YouTube videos, including: basking, mystification, self-promotion, and gender-switching.”
The Influence of Entrepreneurs’ Credentials and Impression Management Behaviors on Perceptions of New Venture Legitimacy (2012, background): “IM is defined as behavior enacted to create, protect, maintain, or alter an image of oneself held by a target audience so as to highlight one’s abilities and to manage the perceptions of others (Barsness, Diekmann, & Seidel, 2005; Bolino et al., 2008; Jones & Pittman, 1982).”
