Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anticipatory socialization refers to the process of learning and internalizing the values, norms, and expectations associated with a role prior to actually entering that role. This process is influenced by a variety of factors including past work experiences, education, family and friends, and media portrayals of the job or organization. In contrast, encounter socialization occurs after an individual has joined the organization and experiences direct socialization from coworkers and supervisors. Appreciative and inquiry socialization are not commonly used terms in the field of organizational behavior.
