The differential effect of organizational induction process on early work role adjustment
研究比较了正式集体入职与非正式个人入职对新员工工作角色调整的影响，发现正式集体入职能提高工作满意度并降低工作家庭冲突，但对团队凝聚力等其他方面无显著影响。
Abstract Early work role adjustment is hypothesized to be a function of previous work experiences, early organizational experiences, and personality differences. Formal collective induction into an organization was compared with informal individual induction. Induction mode was the dominant variable which predicted adjustment four months after employment. Formal collective induction contributed to higher job satisfaction and lower work/family conflict. The mode of induction did not affect team cohesion, role conflict, role ambiguity, or perceived worker influence in the workplace. Self‐monitoring, a personality variable, contributed to the prediction of work/family conflict. Inducation mode did not interact with other independent variables in predicting job satisfaction or work/family conflict.
