The Organizational Socialization Process

Organizational socialization: The process of transforming outsiders into accepted insiders
Orientations: Orientation programs familiarize new employees with the organization’s history, culture, competitive realities, and compensation and benefits.
Storytelling: Recitations of heroic or inspiring deeds provide “social road maps” for new employees.
Strengthening Organizational Cultures.

Symptoms of a weak organizational culture

—  Inward focus
—  Morale problems
—  Fragmentation/inconsistency
—  Ingrown subcultures
—  Warfare among subcultures
—  Subculture elitism
