Being a newcomer is a great challenge we all face. It creates
uncertainty, along with a need for new knowledge and skills in
order to master a new job. This is the focus of my thesis - how
newcomers learn to master their new job and how these learning
processes can be characterized. Established colleagues as important
knowledge sources is central, and by using the term role model,
newcomers access to tacit and explicit knowledge is recognized. In
relation to understanding learning as social and cultural, and not
just limited to individual knowledge aquisition. The thesis also
recognizes the need for understanding organizational socialization
as learning and the important of informal learning processes and
colleagues informally bounding in social practices at work. Thus,
the thesis represent a contribution of understanding newcomers
learning as both individual, social, cultural and contextual. In
doing so, colleagues as knowledge sources in order to learn tacit
knowledge, is crucial to newcomers learning.
