The impostor phenomenon (IP) was originally identified over 40 years ago, and there has been a recent surge in its examination across domains of management research. However, a lack of a comprehensive review that synthesizes organizationally-relevant IP research has left IP research dispersed across time and disciplines with diminished conceptual clarity and an incoherent nomological network. We address these shortcomings by conducting a systematic review of IP in the workplace. We review 188 scholarly works (111 articles and 77 dissertations) published from 1978 to 2023 and summarize these data to describe the current state of the workplace-relevant IP literature. Moreover, we map the antecedents, correlates, mediators, moderators, and outcomes that have been examined in published research with the IP to develop an integrative framework. Next, we identify gaps in the literature, including the issue of conceptual imprecision regarding the IP construct. We address this imprecision through the advancement of both a trait- and state-based understanding of the IP experience. Finally, we identify avenues for future research to direct future studies of the IP in organizational research.

冒充者现象：基于证据的系统回顾、概念发展和未来研究议程

冒充者现象 (IP) 最初在 40 多年前就被识别出来，最近管理研究领域对它的研究激增。然而，由于缺乏对与组织相关的知识产权研究进行综合的全面审查，知识产权研究分散在不同的时间和学科中，概念清晰度下降，法理网络不连贯。我们通过对工作场所的知识产权进行系统审查来解决这些缺点。我们回顾了 1978 年至 2023 年发表的 188 篇学术著作（111 篇文章和 77 篇论文），并对这些数据进行了总结，以描述工作场所相关知识产权文献的现状。此外，我们还将已发表的研究中检验过的前因、相关因素、中介因素、调节因素和结果与知识产权绘制在一起，以开发一个综合框架。接下来，我们找出文献中的空白，包括知识产权构造的概念不精确问题。我们通过提高对知识产权体验的基于特征和状态的理解来解决这种不精确性。最后，我们确定了未来研究的途径，以指导未来组织研究中的知识产权研究。
