Feeling like a fake at work can lead to problems at home

A little self-doubt at work can be a good thing, but like anything else—too much can be a bad thing.

When employees, usually high performers, start to doubt their abilities too much it can turn into imposter phenomenon, causing fatigue, dissatisfaction, and the inability to maintain a healthy work–life balance. Employees experiencing imposter phenomenon have trouble recognizing and believing their own success and tend to overcompensate, which takes an emotional toll.

The Interdivisional Grant Program is a way to obtain small grants for activities that are collaborations among divisions. The APA Committee on Division/APA Relations (CODAPAR) invites divisions to submit proposals by September 1, 2019.

Forget bitcoin—skills are the global currency for 21^st century economies.  Lori Foster, professor of Psychology at North Carolina State University and the University of Cape Town, says, “Without proper investment in skills, individuals languish on the margins of societies, technology does not convert into economic prosperity, and it’s difficult if not impossible for countries to compete in an increasingly knowledge-based global economy.”

At the 2019 SIOP Conference, members of SIOP and Division 19, the Society for Military Psychology, signed a collaboration agreement to further the work of the Military Veterans Initiative (MVI). The collaboration will advance ongoing research, practice, and funding efforts. Drs. Kristin Saboe and Nathan Ainspan were selected to serve as liaisons between the two APA divisions.

In accordance with Article IX (Amendments) of the Bylaws, member voting on the two proposed amendments concludes on July 19, 2019.
