With a significant proportion of college students in many countries engaging in risky drinking behavior, this study examines the tendency of such young adults to 'mature out' of such behavior in their first year of employment after graduating, and the degree to which three mainstream organizational on-boarding experiences may expedite such 'maturing out'. Focusing on newcomers' experiences with alcohol-oriented job orientation, job empowerment, and organizational efforts to facilitate the development of supportive peer relationships, we test hypotheses regarding the direct effects of time on the change in alcohol misuse among those reporting misuse in college, as well as the degree to which individual on-boarding experiences account for the variance in young adults' maturing out trajectories over the course of their first year of employment. Findings generated from data collected from over 400 young adults over multiple waves offer important theoretical and practical implications regarding how and why particular onboarding tactics may be more or less effective in influencing newcomers' health-related behaviors.
在许多国家，相当一部分大学生存在危险饮酒行为。本研究考察了这类年轻人在毕业后第一年就业时“摆脱”此类行为的倾向，以及三种主流的组织入职体验在多大程度上可能加速这种“摆脱”。聚焦于新员工在以酒精为导向的工作导向、工作赋权以及组织为促进支持性同伴关系发展所做努力方面的经历，我们检验了关于时间对大学期间报告有饮酒问题的人酒精滥用变化的直接影响的假设，以及个体入职体验在多大程度上解释了年轻人在就业第一年期间摆脱饮酒问题轨迹的差异。从400多名年轻人多轮收集的数据中得出的结果，对于特定入职策略在影响新员工健康相关行为方面如何以及为何可能或多或少有效，具有重要的理论和实践意义。
