The aim of this study is to examine the impact of personal and social factors such; EQ
(Emotional Quotient), self-respect and social comparison on the impression management's impact
on subjective career success and also to ascertain health care personnel's opinions on career
success. The research has been conducted in 6 major hospitals with 330 health care workers in
Konya, province of Turkey. Bolino and Turnley's (1999) impression management scale;
Greenhaus, Parasuraman and Wormley's (1990) career success scale; Rosenberg's self-esteem
scale and Gibbon and Buunk's (1999) social comparison orientation scale have been used.The
results show that impression management does not have an impact on career success directly,
rather it affects on social comparison variables. Social comparison variables constitute a direct link
between impression management and career success. The results of the study reveal that other
