Impression Management at Workplace

Abstract

Andrew DuBrin is a Professor Emeritus at the Rochester Institute of Technology’s College of Business, a former departmental chairman and team leader. He is an accomplished author and speaker with a strong managerial focus, emphasizing leadership and human relations aspects of organizational interactions which extends ‘Impression Management’ (IM) in the workplace and even an entire organization. He is a fluid writer whose books are renowned for concepts, application and skills acquisition. The subject of impression management has been the focus of attention in scholarly literature for more than 45 years and aroused the interest of career advisors and HR specialists for about 75 years. However, the recent global crisis has posed a greater challenge to employers and employees, as choice candidates in this era of high competition with few vacancies and has made the subject of impression management more relevant than ever. Andrew thus recognizes reasons for the effective use of IM and has produced a guide based on scholarly research and theory with emphasis on practice.
