Abstract :
This study examined the associations among Organizational Identity (OI), impostor syndrome, and life satisfaction among Information Technology (IT) workers in Pakistan, emphasizing the mediating role of impostor syndrome. 300 IT experts (164 males, 136 females) working in notable organizations of Pakistan were selected for this correlational study. Participants filled out the Organizational Identification Questionnaire (Mael & Ashforth, 1992), the Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale (Clance, 2008), and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener et al., 2008). Statistical analyses like correlation and regression showed a positive linkage between OI and life satisfaction. Mediation test further revealed that impostor syndrome partially mediated this relationship. Surprisingly, there were big discrepancies between organizations; employees from national companies were happier with their lives than those from global companies. These results highlight the significance of organizational culture and collectivist principles in influencing professional well-being. The research enhances the existing literature on impostor syndrome and organizational identity by contextualizing these concepts within a South Asian, collectivist cultural framework, providing interesting insights for organizational policies that promote identity, belonging, and employee well-being.
