This document discusses employee socialization and the induction process. Socialization is the process by which new employees learn the values, norms, and behaviors required to participate as an organizational member. It benefits both the individual, through increased satisfaction and performance, and the organization, through lower costs. The socialization process involves three stages - a pre-arrival stage where expectations are formed, an encounter stage where reality is discovered, and a metamorphosis stage where adjustment occurs. Induction refers to welcoming new employees and providing initial information to help them settle in and start work productively through various pre-employment, primary, main, and review stages.

2) by increased performance
3) commitment toward the organisation
Organisation may be benefitted:
1) by reduction in startup cost of each employees
2) by reduction in the cost of employees turnover

5. Process of socialization :
Pre- arrival
stage
Encounter
stage
Metamorphosis
stage

6. Pre arrival stage:
 In this stage all new recruits arrives the organisation with a set of
values, attitudes, expectations and learning.
 In other words, pre-arrival refers to all the learning that occurs
before a new member joins the organization
 For Example:
1) when a person is joining a job he/she might go and ask people
in order to obtain information about the organization.
2)An MBA graduate knows from the Professors what business is
like .
3)Employees also comes to know about the organisation and the
job during the selection process.

7. Encounter stage:
 Encounter Stage is the part of the stages of socialization where a
person joins or enters an organization.
Individuals discover how well their expectations match realities
within the organization. At this stage employee join or enter in the
organization and by entering they might have some:
Shocks
Expectation
Reality
In this process of adjustment,
the individual tries to replace his/her own values and norms with
those of the organisation.
If the member simply cannot reconcile to those values and norms of
the organisation then he/she quits the job.

8. Metamorphosis stage
In this stage employees learn the skills
required to adjust with the organization's
norms and values and changes himself/herself
to adjust to the job, new groups or
organization.

10. Approaches to socialization:
1) Realistic job preview
2) Employee orientation or
induction program

11. Realistic Job Preview
Realistic job previews is a process during
recruitment of an employee which clearly
highlights all the pros and cons related to the job
profile, giving the candidate the most accurate
information about the job.
Realistic Job Previews (RJP) are developed to
provide the potential applicants a true picture of
the different features of the job. It highlights not
only the positive aspects, but also the negative
aspect of the organisation

12. RJP Model consist 4 interrelated
mechanism
 Vaccination against unrealistic high expectation
 Self selection
 Coping effect
 Personal commitment

13. When to use RJP:
 When candidate can be selective about offers ( specially during the
time of low unemployment)
 When selection ratio is low ( the organization may have more job applications
then position vacant)
 When recruits are unlikely to have enough information available to them to
develop realistic expectation ( such as with entry level, complex or unique job)
 When replacement cost are very high

14. Induction:
“Induction is the process of receiving and
welcoming employees when they first join a
company and giving them the basic
information they need to settle down quickly
and happily and start work.”

15. Objective of induction:
 To smooth the preliminary stages when everything is likely to be strange
and unfamiliar to the starter
 To established a positive attitude toward the company in the mind of new
employee
 To obtain more effective output
 To reduce the employee absenteeism

and how well these match up to the objectives of the induction.
