Document Summary
The manner in which organizations structure the early work experiences of newcomers and individuals who are in transition from one role to another. They can be grouped into two separate patterns of socialization that are called institutionalized socialization and individualized socialization. Institutionalization socialization consists of the collective, formal, sequential, fixed, serial, and investiture tactics. A formalized and structured program of socialization that reduces uncertainty and res to accept organizational norms and maintain the status quo. Individualized socialization consists of the individual, informal, random, variable, disjunctive, and divestiture tactics. A relative absence of structure that creates ambiguity and encourages new hires to question the status quo and develop their own approach to their role. The tactics have also been distinguished in terms of: The context in which information is presented to new hires. Institutionalization socialization tactics are effective in promoting organizational loyalty and uniformity of behaviour.
