| 1 | The article describes the phenomenon of impostor syndrome, characterized by doubts in one’s own professional abilities, fear of exposure and the feeling of inconsistency with the occupied role, despite objective achievements. The relevance of the study is due to the insufficient study of the phenomenon in the context of professional characteristics of different groups. The aim of the work is to identify the relationships of impostor syndrome with professional characteristics such as self-efficacy, professional motivation, perfectionism and personality traits from the “Big Five” model, to determine the specifics for groups of representatives of technical and humanitarian professions. Seventy-five people representing technical and humanitarian professions participated in the study. A set of methods was used to assess the expression of the impostor phenomenon, professional motivation, perfectionism, self-efficacy and personality traits. The analysis showed that in representatives of humanitarian professions the impostor phenomenon is associated with a high level of benevolence and openness to experience, as well as the expression of pathological perfectionism and dependence on external motivation. In technical specialists, the impostor phenomenon is associated with a low level of self-efficacy, intrinsic motivation and openness to new experience.
