The research in the field of organisational socialization is important mainly in the context of changes in career paths in recent times, the output of the socialization process being related to work performance, job satisfaction and organizational involvement. Key words: organisational socialization, career, career changes 1. Introduction Organisational socialization constitutes an interesting domain from a practical perspective, due to the fact that, as years went by, the multi-organisational careers became the rule and not the exception and the organisations are more and more interested in facilitating the rapid adaptation of newcomers. It becomes a domain of study all the more important, considering that in the last decades we have witnessed major changes on the labour market and in the career world. Two of these changes require knowledge of the mechanisms of organisational socialization: the multiplication of international companies and their spread all over the world and the multi-organisational careers. Globalisation brought along inherent ‘culture clashes’ due to the fact that international companies came to have branches in more countries and employees coming from different countries. Some of them work in their own country, but inside companies pertaining to another culture, others work abroad, in the home-country of the company, and a third category works in a third-party country, which many times presents no similarities either with the culture of origin of the employees or with the culture of the country where the employing company was founded. Apart from the usual impact of the organisation on the newcomer who belongs to the same culture (the initial research domain of the socialization was initially limited to Western companies), when cultural differences are part of the equation, the issue of socialization becomes even more acute. In the case of multi-organisational careers, when entering every organisation, the individual goes through a period of organisational socialization which the organisation is interested to shorten as much as possible. The concept of socialization is consecrated by Schein (1968), who defined socialization as a process of learning the ropes of a position, of training and indoctrination of the 1 Transilvania University of Brasov, Romania, [email protected] 10 Bulletin of the Transilvania University of Braşov
