• Description:
  Organizational socialization is a critical time when new employees acquire the information and skills needed to perform their job and function in their new work environment. Organizations that help new employees navigate this time successfully are likely to benefit from a workforce that is more satisfied, committed, and less likely to leave the organization. The Five C's model (compliance, clarity, connection, confidence, and culture) (Bauer, 2011) characterizes different levels of socialization and onboarding programmes from those most basic to those that are more sophisticated. This chapter reviews the organizational socialization process in detail; including what organizations and new employees can do to facilitate successful adjustment, and what short- and long-term outcomes can be expected as a result of these efforts. Finally, we review current and emerging challenges including onboarding virtual teams, mitigating stress for new employees, and considering the potentially darker sides of socialization.
