When new employees enter an organization they feel out of place because of the new surroundings, new boss and new co-workers. Hence, it is the responsibility of the management to orient the employees and to make the process of socialization smooth. This will ensure that the new employees adapt to the organizational culture as soon as possible. The process of adaptation is commonly termed induction or socialization 2

behaviors• Degree of change varies among

organizations• Highlights the “tug of war” between

socialization and individualization5

• Purposes (cont.)• Teach immediate workgroup norms

• Social status• Bases of power• Informal leaders• Performance norms. Not always same

as organization’s or individual’s values

entry/encounter stage flows into the metamorphosis stage
