| has gloss | eng: In organizational communication anticipatory socialization is the process that occurs when an individual develops expectations and knowledge about possible jobs and positions. It is usually the first step that occurs in the search and acceptance of an individual into an organization. Porter et al. (1975) postulate that because of this process, individuals never enter an organization with a completely blank opinion and that they carry with them “cultural baggage.” While this sounds as if it causes bias within participants, it has been found that graduate students who know more about working life before they enter into an organization are better able to find work that fits their personalities and skill sets (Arnold 1985). Several other positive affects of anticipatory socialization have been found as well. |
