The majority of research into corporate reporting on biodiversity and conservation generally concludes that such is dominated by impression management, self-interest an anth...

the purpose of this research is to predict knowledge sharing through dimensions of social capital. knowledge sharing occurrence depends directly upon tendency of knowledge holder to sharing as well as knowledge receiver to take it from holders. in other side, social capital is defined as linkage among people and their unifying factors such as trust. in this research, social capital is conceptua...

Theories from traditional finance (e.g. agency theory) are not suitable for impression management research as they are based on fundamental assumptions of manager and investor rationality. For the assumption that impression management results in capital misallocations to hold true requires alternative theoretical perspectives. This paper develops theoretical perspectives on corporate narrative ...

Prior research indicates that employees engage in organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs) because of prosocial values, organizational concern, and impression management motives. Building upon and extending prior research, we investigate all 3 OCB motives by developing a categorization scheme to differentiate their distinctiveness and by building a contextualized argument regarding their int...

We examined the psychometric properties and construct validity for the Morning Affect (MA) scale; this scale is a subset of the morningness factor from the Composite Scale of Morningness (CSM). We also addressed some problems with this literature. First, we employed an older working sample that was not gender biased. Second, we argued whether self-reported dependent variables that are used to a...

Research has begun to explore the use of virtual humans (VHs) in medical interviews [1]. When designed as supportive and “safe” interaction partners, VHs may improve such screenings by encouraging patients to disclose more personal information [2-3]. In medical contexts, patients often feel resistance to selfdisclosure and engage in impression management to be viewed more positively by healthca...

objectives: the purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of implant position transfer and surface detail reproduction using two impression techniques and materials. materials and methods: a metal model with two implants and three grooves of 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75 mm in depth on the flat superior surface of a die was fabricated. ten regular-body polyether (pe) and 10 regular-body polyvinyl...

making impression to obtain an accurate working cast needs to use accurate impression materials such as polyether. on the other hand, polyether cannot be used easily in places with undercut such as excessive interproximal spaces and under the pontics of fixed partial dentures as it may be locked in these free spaces. in this article, a method is presented to blockout interproximal spaces in ord...

abstract fixed dental prosthesis success requires appropriate impression taking of the prepared finish line. this is critical in either tooth supported fixed prosthesis (crown and bridge) or implant supported fixed prosthesis (solid abutment). if the prepared finish line is adjacent to the gingival sulcus, gingival retraction techniques should be used to decrease the marginal discrepancy among ...

Three studies investigated the relations between cultural values and socially desirable responding, the processes that underlie them, and factors that influence the strength of the relations. Results indicated that individualism was associated with self-deceptive enhancement but not impression management, whereas collectivism was associated with impression management but not self-deceptive enha...
