Organizational Culture & Socialization Organizational culture and organizational socialization OrganizationalCulture OrganizationalSocialization What a newemployee needsto learn. The process by whicha new employeelearns the culture.
Socialization • The process of Socialization continues throughout the person's association with an organization • Most intense before and after boundary transitions • Boundary transitions occur when a new employee crosses the organization's boundary upon joining the organization
Boundary Transitions • Also occurswhen a person's career unfolds and he/she crosses other boundaries within the same or different organization • Employee is most susceptible to organizational influences just before and just after those transitions
Boundary Transitions • Dimensions • Functional: emphasizes on the development and the use of skills in doing a particular task • Hierarchical: moving upward in the organizational hierarchy (promotion) • Inclusionary: emphasizes on the acceptance of values, norms, and required behavior to become part of the “inner circle.”
Stages of Organizational Socialization Choice: Anticipatory socialization(“Getting in”) Expectations Entry/encounter(“Breaking in”) Reality Change: Metamorphosis(“Settling in”) Taking on the role
Example • Nancy , after her graduation wishes to work for an organization she has known about her whole life as her father used to work there. Her comfort level is high because she feels familiar with the organization and its goals.These feelings describe Nancy's ANTICIPATORY SOCIALIZATION
When Nancy is finally hired by the company, she begins the ENCOUNTER process. She learns about the organization and its expectations of her. The people that she interacts with the most in this early stage help her to define the encounter process. • People in the office that help her "to know" the company and its expectations play an important role. The METAMORPHOSIS that occurs here defines Nancy's role in the organization.
