Career development context
Although the impostor phenomenon concerns mostly high functioning individuals, “for impostors success does not mean happiness” (Sakuluku, Alexander, 2011, pp. 86), as it serves as a potential psychological barrier to their career planning and development (Neureiter, Traut-Mattausch, 2016A). The impostor phenomenon, from its theoretical considerations let us assume that its main features (i.e. fear of failure, fear of success and low self-esteem) would create substantial problems with individuals' adaptability and motivation in the workplace environment (Kets de Vries, 2005). These will in turn impair their job performance and career prospects, and further lead to the lowered job satisfaction (Neureiter, Traut-Mattausch,

In both groups low self-esteem was established as the most impairing factor and an important precondition of IP, and it was consecutively followed by the fear of failure and fear of success. However, the difference between students and working professionals was found, as students presented higher levels of fear of failure, whereas workers' levels of fear of success was more significant. In terms of IP's impact on individuals' career prospects, career planning and motivation to undertake leading position were the most affected. The more impostor feelings were reported by the participants, the less career planning and motivation to lead they expressed. Negative effect of IP on career striving failed to reach …show more content…
Fear of success is recognized as a main factor contributing to the development of impostor feelings, as in a work environment employees are more exposed to their colleagues' and employers' opinions and affected by their judgements that the students are at their universities (Leary, et al., 2000). Such environment sets a competitive atmosphere, because of the rarity of available promotion possibilities. If promoted, impostors would also fear that they will lose their peers positive regard. This can cause the feeling of uncertainty, which in turn will lead them to the self-sabotaging behaviours and staying in less demanding jobs to reduce the negative impostor feelings. Such an attitude of not knowing own competencies do not contribute in a positive manner to receiving other or better alternative job offers. Thus, impostors experiencing high career insecurity will present higher continuance commitment in their employment (Neureiter, Traut-Mattausch, 2016A). In addition, career optimism emerged as a significant mediator in the negative relation to the IP (the lower career optimism, the lower career expectations and job satisfaction). The IP also has a negative indirect effect on perceived marketability, through the reduced career adaptability and knowledge of the job market. Both factors are needed to achieve higher salary and more promotions, however,
In the case of “Leonel v. American Airlines, Inc. (AA), 400 F.3d 702 (9th Cir.2005)” (Melvin, 2013), on page 351 of The Legal Environment of Business: a Managerial Approach: Theory to Practice, “Leonel and two other applicants were given conditional offers of employment by American Airlines.” (Melvin, 2013); these offers were dependent on whether a background check and medical exam were passed. However, before the background checks could be conducted American Airlines directed Leonel and the other

But many people, including parents, are against this idea for many different reasons such as prejudices issues and some even feel as this might take away from their learning. In the case study “The Chameleon” they talk about the issues that come to the topic of teaching bilingual and multicultural education in public schools. In the text, it stated that the issue began to get heated when on an October night the issue of bilingual education
Government and Politics: A Case Study of Campbell County, Kentucky Campbell County, Kentucky offers a very interesting case study of politics at work. The many different variables that can possibly affect how counties as a whole vote are present in Campbell County, and the interplay between all these variables is the topic of this paper. In order to accurately predict the outcome of the election, it is important to be familiar with all the different socio-economic factors that influence the
one twin is dependant upon the other, I believe that they should be separated, at minimum, to save the life of one. At the same time, I believe that every set of conjoined twins is its own special case. In this study, I will present the background information on conjoined twinning, give a few case studies, and give the pros and cons of conjoined twin separation. I will end with my own views on the subject. How do these mutations arise? A.A. Zimmerman hypothesizes that, “[Conjoined twins arise
process of reincarnation scientifically. Through the last century, as Buddhism gained more popularity in the West, various people have attempted to study reincarnation systematically. These studies range from in-depth case studies to hypnotic regression experiments and experiences of people who have been through near-death experiences. By conducting these studies researchers wish to see if there exists a scientific basis to Buddhist beliefs. In the course of my paper, I shall first relate why it may
Gender Norming What exactly is a standard? According to Webster’s dictionary, a standard is a level of quality or excellence that is accepted as the norm or by which actual attainments are judged. Standards are created because someone believes that a fair and efficient form of doing something is necessary. The military is full of these standards. One of the most widely known is the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT). It tests the maximum amount of push-ups and sit-ups a person can do in two minutes

laws of the country. I personally believe that internet censorship is not ethical and internet users should decide for themselves what they can and cannot see. This paper will prove the ethical implications of internet censorship through two case studies: the United States' Communications Decency Act, and Australia's Broadcasting Services Amendment (Online Services) Act 1999. The United States and Australia have both taken two different approaches to internet censorship. However, both countries
social norm or release a healthy individual trapped in an unnatural state? How does this reflect or change our definitions of "illness" and "wellness"? Dr. Kramer's discussions hinge upon the idea that the nervous system controls behavior. The case studies he provides show people who, after taking Prozac, have remarkable "transformations" of multiple facets of behavior including perceptions, motivation, emotions, sense of choice, values, and personality (defined by given temperament as well as developed
back them. Project STAR Case studies have been key in generating research information on the effects of smaller class size. Similar results have been attained from studies in Tennessee, California and Wisconsin. Project STAR (Student/Teacher Achievement Ratio) in Tennessee is “one of the most important educational investigations ever carried out (HEROS, 2001).” In 1985 the Tennessee passed the proper legislation to put into effect a four year class size study of students in grades K-3, using
does not have it, withdrawal takes place. In this case, a long, gradual process of lessening the dosage is the only route for success. Experiments were conducted involving the effects of crack cocaine on case studies in Toronto. It is important that people monitor and stay knowledgeable about cocaine, “as medical experiments done at the turn of the century lacked today’s sophistication” (Karch A Brief History of Cocaine 11). These case studies are crucial to research if we are to fully understand
idea of voluntary risk taking has been brought to the fore front of sociological debate. It is clear that in a society where people spend a great deal of time avoiding risks there are also people actively seeking to take part in risks. Why is this the case, and are there certain groups within society more prone to this type of risk-taking behaviour than others? In order to address this two part question effectively it is first of all necessary to discuss what voluntary risk-taking is referring to. Once
