Popis: Employing social influence theory, we empirically examine four variables as predictors of impression management behavior enactment. Our findings, based on responses from 144 full-time state workers, suggest numerous significant relationships. Specifically, we offer evidence indicating the existence of negative relationships between core selfevaluations and the use of self-promotion, ingratiation, exemplification, intimidation, and supplication. Our findings also suggest a negative relationship between managerial support and the use of self-promotion. Finally, we report evidence of positive relationships between interaction frequency and exemplification, and between job strain and supplication. Implications of the findings are discussed and future research opportunities are suggested.
