This study aims to contribute to Positive Organizational Behavior by focusing on the dark side of employee behavior. Specifically, this study investigates the effects of impostor feelings on perceptions of one’s work context and, in turn, on attitudinal outcomes (i.e., organizational identification) and behavioral outcomes (i.e., counter-productive work behaviors). This study aims to investigate whether feelings of impostor may be an individual level determinant of how employees perceive and respond to their work. The impostor phenomenon refers to intense feelings of intellectual and professional imposture. Such individuals experience low sense of pride and inability to acknowledge their accomplishments at work. They are incapacitated by feelings of inability to meet work demands and emotional exhaustion. Impostor phenomenon may have detrimental effects on employee well-being as well as trigger dysfunctional attitudes and behaviors.
