What is Organizational Socialization??

Question

Can give some examples??Thank You

Answer 1

Organizational socialization is the process whereby an organization teaches an individual the knowledge and skills necessary to assume his or her organizational role (Van Maanen & Schein, 1979). It involves teaching newcomers the values, behaviors, social knowledge, and necessary work place skills needed to successfully assume an organizational role and participate as an organizational member (Louis, 1980; Schein, 1968).

Military boot camp is an example of organizational socialization. The military is taking a civilian and teaching him or her how to become a soldier. Wal-Mart associates are always supposed to treat the customer with respect, that's a behavior newcomers must learn. At a union plant, you only make X number of widgits per hour, even if you can really make 3 times that many, because X number of widgits an hour is a comfortable pace to work and management accepts that amount.
