You Are New to an Organization and Do Not Really

question 25

Multiple Choice

You are new to an organization and do not really know what to expect about the socialization process. You are a recent M.B.A. and have an undergraduate degree in computer science. Your new firm is a software development company with an emphasis in the health care industry. Your hiring process includes campus interviews, a day-long trip to interview at the company, an offer phone call and letter, and some promotional material sent via the mail. When you arrive for your first day of work, you spend half a day in an orientation session with Human Resources, where you complete paperwork and receive a company handbook. Then you spend the rest of the day with your supervisor, who gives you a tour, introduces you to your co-workers, and explains your first project. After that, you begin working and getting to know the others in the company. You find that in most respects, your experience fits your expectations, but in some ways you are surprised by realities that you hadn't expected. None of these surprises is too difficult to accept, so you eventually begin to feel at home and happy with your new job.
-When you begin to notice things that are not as you expected, you are in the ________ stage of socialization.
