Impression Management in the Feedback-Seeking Process: A Literaturereview and Research Agenda
综述了反馈寻求过程中印象管理行为的复杂性，分析其如何影响个体何时、向谁以及如何寻求反馈，并讨论对组织的启示。
Although impression management in the Feedback-seeking process has emerged as an important research topic, existing research has failed to capture the range and complexity of impression management behaviors. This article provides a theoretical framework for existing and future research. It examines how impression management sometimes discourages and at other times encourages feedback inquiry, and it explains the impact that impression management has on when, from whom, and how individuals ask for feedback. Organizational implications of the impression management motive in feedback seeking are discussed.
