Abstract

Today's workforce consists of multiple generations, including Generation Z, which is predicted to make a significant contribution to the global workforce. Generation Z, born between 1997 and 2012, has distinctive characteristics, especially in terms of technological prowess and work preferences, which differ from previous generations. One of the challenges that Generation Z often faces in their career development is the Impostor Phenomenon, which is the feeling that the success they achieve is not due to personal competence, but rather due to external factors such as luck. This study aims to examine the role of the impostor phenomenon in the career development of Generation Z employees in the Jabodetabek area. By using non-experimental quantitative methods, using purposive sampling technique. This study involved 247 Generation Z employees working in Jabodetabek. This study uses the Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale (CIPS), developed by Clance (1985) and the Career Development Questionnaire (CDQ) developed by Shashi Kant Singh (2023). Based on the results of the main data analysis using the simple Regression Test, it was found that the impostor phenomenon has a negative role on career development with a value of β = -1.089, p = 0.001, p < 0.05. So it can be concluded that an increase in impostor phenomenon can lead to a decrease in career development.
