Organizational socialization is not only the results of new employees'adaptation, but also the process of continuous adjustment of pre-entering expectations. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the influence of newcomers' expectations on their organizational socialization from the psychological dimension of employees, so as to find effective means to stabilize the workforce and reduce the number of employees leaving. It provides the theoretical basis for enterprises to improve newcomers' expectation and positively guide them to behavewith active socialization.
Method /ProcessThis paper takes 183 new employees as a sample to carry out a longitudinal study, taking three months before and after their employmentas the time nodes respectively. From the three aspects of enterprise, team and work, the paper analyzes these new employees' entry expectations, work experience and the learning degree of organizational socialization content, and explores the relationship between variables through multiple regression analysis.
Result /ConclusionThe results show that the business development expectation of newcomers(pre-entry) can positively predict the learning of organizational socialization contents three months later; and in the early stage of work(first three months of work), entry experience of work dimension(job-comfort and job-reward expectations) can positively predictorganizational socialization. In this way, the conclusion is that in different periods of organizational socialization, the influence of different dimensions of employees' expectation on organizational socialization changes with time.
