| description | This theoretical article aims to contribute to the literature on the cultural
antecedents of employees’ impression management (IM) strategies in the
workplace. Studies investigating the impact of cultural values on the IM strategies
of employees have mainly examined the role of the institutional environment,
namely national culture dimensions. However, studies focusing on how the
immediate cultural environment of organizations may influence the IM strategies
are scarce. Using the person-situation theory and descriptive and injunctive norm
approach to the study of culture, this article provides several propositions on how
the organizational cultural values in conjunction and interaction with broader
national cultural values may cause variance in the IM strategies of employees.
I specifically propose that job-focused and supervisor-focused IM strategies
should vary by the degree of performance orientation in organizations, and
this causal impact should vary across cultures based on their varying degrees of
collectivism and power distance. |
