To provide a photoconductive image forming member having a highly wear resistant overcoat layer.

The photoconductive image forming member includes at least a charge generating layer, a charge transport layer, and a layer which includes a substantially crosslinked resin of at least a phenol compound and a charge transport compound, comes into contact with the charge transport layer. The charge transport compound is a photoconductive member represented by formula A-(L-OR)n, (A represents a charge transport component; L represents a linkage; O represents oxygen; R represents hydrocarbyl group; and n represents the number of repeating segments or repeating groups).
