Document Summary
Organizations differ in the extent to which they socialize their members. Some organizations make use of other organizations to help socialize their members. Organizations that handle their own socialization are especially interested in maintaining the continuity and stability of job behaviours over a period of time. Those that rely on external agencies to perform anticipatory socialization are oriented toward maintaining the potential for creative, innovative behaviour on the part of members. Such organizations will usually supplement it with formal training and orientation or informal, on-the-job training. The point is that organizations differ in terms of who does the socializing, how it is done, and how much is done. Most organizations make use of a number of methods of socialization including realistic job previews, employee orientation programs, socialization tactics, and mentoring. Some organizations use realistic job previews to adjust unrealistically high expectations that recruits bring to a job.
