Abstract
Organizations employ different communication strategies and
tactics in the socialization process for individuals entering organizations. To
internalize its values, new recruits learn organizational values, rules,
roles, and responsibilities through experiences which are communicated
formally, informally, and interpersonal relations in modern
organizations. Pakistan is believed to be multicultural society with the same
resonance in the workplaces (Waseem, 2004). The study examines how
individuals move through different communication modes and make use
of different communication skills as they progress from newcomers to
organizational members and make staying or quitting decisions. To
accomplish this, the study uses aspects of interpersonal relationship
theory to understand phases of organizational socialization. This study
aims to extensively survey extant literature to examine organizations and
management play their role in the socialization process. The study also critically
analyzes socialization's theoretical framework.
