The authors tested a model of antecedents and outcomes of newcomer adjustment using 70 unique samples of newcomers with meta-analytic and path modeling techniques. Specifically, they proposed and tested a model in which adjustment (role clarity, self-efficacy, and social acceptance) mediated the effects of organizational socialization tactics and information seeking on socialization outcomes (job satisfaction, organizational commitment, job performance, intentions to remain, and turnover). The results generally supported this model. In addition, the authors examined the moderating effects of methodology on these relationships by coding for 3 methodological issues: data collection type (longitudinal vs. cross-sectional), sample characteristics (school-to-work vs. work-to-work transitions), and measurement of the antecedents (facet vs. composite measurement). Discussion focuses on the implications of the findings and suggestions for future research.
作者使用70个独特的新员工样本，采用元分析和路径建模技术，测试了一个新员工适应的前因和结果模型。具体而言，他们提出并测试了一个模型，其中适应（角色清晰度、自我效能感和社会接纳）介导了组织社会化策略和信息寻求对社会化结果（工作满意度、组织承诺、工作绩效、留任意向和离职率）的影响。研究结果总体上支持了该模型。此外，作者通过对三个方法学问题进行编码，考察了方法学对这些关系的调节作用：数据收集类型（纵向与横断面）、样本特征（从学校到工作与从工作到工作的转变）以及前因的测量（方面测量与综合测量）。讨论集中在研究结果的意义以及对未来研究的建议。
