This fitting in, or adjustment, to the organization includes the skills to perform one's job, understanding the relationships of one's role to the broader organization, and feeling accepted by one's peers. Onboarding, or more broadly, organizational socialization, is a proven practice that enhances employee adjustment through learning and development. Prior research reveals favorable relationships between organizational socialization (OS) practices and employee adjustment. Much less is known about which aspects of OS the HRD professional should focus on, why employees are motivated to use the knowledge gained from socialization to improve job performance, or whether relationships discovered in past research on newcomers can or should be generalized to more experienced employees. The current research is based on the multidomain, continuous model of OS. Consistent with that model, we found that effective socialization enhances employee organizational adjustment, which subsequently raises their organization-based self-esteem (OBSE), and that OS has stronger relationships with adjustment for less experienced employees than those with more experienced employees. Our results also reveal that adjustment mediated growth in OBSE that accompanied the ongoing process of OS, and that employees who perceived higher levels of socialization had greater increases in OBSE. We discuss the implications of our results for HRD professionals in designing OS programs, particularly as they relate to the targeted employees, and the framing of the communications.</p>","PeriodicalId":47803,"journal":{"name":"Human Resource Development Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2021-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/hrdq.21458","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48219820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The scale complements the operationalization of Senge's “Five Disciplines” of the learning organization. OSI provides a new perspective that links employees' perceptions of various seemingly mundane everyday practices with the organizationally desirable effects of a learning organization. The model suggests developmental perspectives that highlight micro-level behavioral, informal, interactional, and accessible-to-all aspects of the learning organization as a route to improvement. Operating in the vernacular and focusing on human experience in organizations, the OSI perspective points to improvement possibilities in and among people in contrast to structural manager-level constructs. It contributes to HRD literature that explores developmental outcomes and theoretical understanding from human experience in contrast to rank, status, structure, or hierarchy. With its bottom-up logic as an operationalization of the Sengean learning organization as a form of applied systems thinking, the model introduces an employee-level perspective of systems thinking in action into the field of HRD. It is demonstrated that with respect to perceived performance, the OSI scale performs equally well as the widely used Dimensions of the Learning Organization Questionnaire.</p>","PeriodicalId":47803,"journal":{"name":"Human Resource Development Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2021-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/hrdq.21455","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46815201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utilizing a sample of 305 managers for 15 Information and Communication Technology (ICT) organizations in India, we uncover a fine-grained pattern of results indicating that Type A personality represents resource loss while Type B personality represents resource gain in the context of time, strain and behavior based WFC and FWC.

We analyze financial data of 174 firms in South Korea over 10 years (2009–2018) using a lagged dependent variable model. Our results demonstrate that TD investment contributes to later financial performance, and financial performance contributes to later TD investment. We find an inverted U-shaped relationship between TD investment and financial performance in both directions. Financial slack positively moderates the bidirectional relationship, such that the inverted U-shaped effect of TD investment on financial performance is more pronounced among those with low financial slack. In the effect of financial performance on TD investment, firms with high financial slack show a U-shaped curve, while firms with low financial slack show an inverted U-shaped curve.

In essence, how can HRD scholars be confident in knowing that mean group differences are attributable to actual differences between groups as opposed to differences in how each group interprets the constructs of interest? Measurement invariance (MI) provides insight into whether a measure or construct has the same meaning between groups or over time and is an important precursor to the evaluation of group differences. While MI testing has gained some traction within HRD studies, steps to take when partial MI testing is needed have received very little attention. The purpose of this article is to encourage HRD researchers and practitioners to embrace and utilize two techniques when partial invariance (i.e., noninvariance) occurs. There are several techniques one could use during partial MI testing; however, the two showcased herein, the factor-ratio test and the list-and-delete procedure, are established, reliable, and proven within the confirmatory factor analysis framework. This article provides an illustrative example of how to use these techniques to identify invariance at the item level when noninvariance is found. Additionally, R syntax is included that allows for the automation of these techniques.
