Organizational socialization, or onboarding, is the process by which newcomers become full-fledged, productive organizational members (Lousis, 1980; Van Maanen and Schein, 1979). Although socialization occurs whenever employees change roles or cross boundaries within an organization (Van Maanen & Schein, 1979), it is most intense when one first joins an organization (Bauer et al., 1998).enORGANIZATIONAL SOCIALIZATIONORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENTThesis
