they feel out of place because of the new
surroundings, new boss and new co-workers.
Hence, it is the responsibility of the
management to orient the employees and to
make the process of socialization smooth. This

the organizational culture as soon as possible.
The process of adaptation is commonly termed
induction or socialization
