SOCIALIZATION TACTICS: LONGITUDINAL EFFECTS ON NEWCOMER ADJUSTMENT.
基于商学院毕业生入职4个月和10个月的纵向数据,研究六种社会化策略对新员工适应性的影响,发现制度化策略降低角色创新、角色模糊和离职意愿,提升工作满意度和组织认同。
In this longitudinal field study, we used self-report data provided by business school graduates after four months and ten months on new jobs to assess (1) the effects of the six socialization tactics from Van Maanen and Schein's (1979) typology on newcomer adjustment and (2) refinements of existing measures of the investiture tactic and role innovation. Results indicate that the tactics, clustered into an institutionalized (vs. individualized) approach, were negatively related to attempted and actual role innovation, role ambiguity, role conflict, stress symptoms, and intentions to quit and positively related to job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and organizational identification. Self-appraised performance was associated with more individualized socialization.
