A síndrome da impostora e sua relação com a gestão organizacional: um estudo com administradoras e seus desafios na carreira

Abstract

Women go through several difficulties in the labor market, the research came as a means of identifying some of these difficulties with the imposter syndrome at the center, which is a term used to define self-boycott, the feeling that you do not deserve the success you have, that everyone will find out you’re a fake, and how administrators deal with these feelings. From this, the general objective of the research was to investigate the Impostor Syndrome and its relationship with organizational management in a study with administrators and their career challenges. The research shows that through behavioral analyzes it is possible to identify problems such as the imposter syndrome with its collaborators, since this syndrome can start in the micro-organizational behavior, thus helping not only in the female career but also in the management and organizational behavior. The choice of theme is justified by the interest in seeking information regarding a subject considered new, but very present in the life of the general population, including not only women but also men. To answer the question, it was decided to carry out exploratory research with a qualitative approach. Data were collected from the application of the questionnaire called Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale (CIPS) and two open questions, with 112 administrators from Rio Grande do Sul. The results showed that although the vast majority suffer from the impostor syndrome, many are managing to be aware of what they are going through and are looking for ways to overcome these feelings, through knowledge and the search for positive thoughts.
