The experiences of joining and leaving organizations permeate most
people's lives in the 21st century. This book provides a framework
for increasing our understanding of those experiences using a
mixture of specific examples, scholarly findings, and theoretical
concepts and models. Each chapter begins with a realistic scenario
that illustrates its concepts and theories. Then the chapters
explore the entire socialization process from anticipatory
socialization, in which individuals choose occupations and
organizations to join, to voluntarily or involuntarily exit from
those same organizations. In between, chapters examine the process
of entering organizations, learning their culture, developing
personal relationships, and experiencing individual transitions,
like promotions, and organizational transitions, like mergers and
acquisitions, as part of the ongoing socialization process. It
expands the study of socialization by considering socialization of
organizational volunteers as well as paid employees, and by
exploring the ways that work-family issues and new technologies
influence the socialization process. Throughout, particular
attention is paid to the role and importance of communication in
these experiences. The book's organization allows scholars,
students, and organizational participants in every walk of life to
increase their understanding of their organizational experiences.
It will be particularly useful for those studying organizational
communication, business and management.
