Abstract
Job hopping has become the
mantra for the Millennials. In
todays dynamic times, managing
people turnover is as critical as
business turnover. Previous studies
indicate that socialization efforts
in organizations are one of
the important antecedents of work
related attitudes like organizational
commitment, job satisfaction,
organizational identification
and intent to leave. This
study aims at examining the impact
of organizational socialization
on work-related attitudes
which may differ depending on
employees need to reduce uncertainty.
The results indicate that
the socialization practices are
reasonably well entrenched in
India. Socialization has a weak
correlation with organizational
commitment, organizational identification,
job satisfaction or intention
to leave. Thus Western
theories cannot be extrapolated
to Indian situation because of
differences in culture.
