Abstract

Background Impression management (IM), as planned activities aimed at self-presentation adequate for the profession, have become the domain of many specialist disciplines. This phenomenon also applies to the academic community. Lecturers consciously work to impress students and each other to raise evaluation rates and their personal needs. The world of science is subject to cultural laws regarding achievement, especially in the face of new technologies through either portals for scientists or online communication to recipients of their knowledge, i.e., students. This article aims to analyze the impression management of academic lecturers as as they are perceived by students and in the opinions of the lecturers themselves. Research aims We posed a research problem concerning the determinants of impression management among students and in the opinions of faculty scholars. The literature review indicated three IM indicators by scholars: scientific prestige, image creation, and scientist image. Methodology Literature review and online surveys were used to collect the data.

It turned out that prestige is significantly, though moderately, positively associated with image creation (r = 0.506; p
