Proactive socialization behavior in China: The mediating role of perceived insider status and the moderating role of supervisors' traditionality

Abstract

Summary This paper identified the dimensions of proactive socialization behavior among Chinese employees. We examined the mediating effects of perceived insider status on the relationships between proactive socialization behavior and socialization outcomes, and the moderating effect of supervisors' traditionality on the relationship between proactive socialization behavior and perceived insider status. Results from 280 newcomer–supervisor pairs supported the hypotheses that proactive socialization behavior was positively associated with task performance and social integration through perceived insider status. In addition, supervisors' traditionality significantly influenced the indirect relationships that proactive socialization behavior had with task performance and social integration via perceived insider status, such that the relationships became weaker as supervisors' traditionality increased.

“…According to the view of Stamper and Masterson (2003) [5], the cognition of insider identity is whether the individual has perceived the status of the group membership within a specific organization.

Under normal circumstances, high emotional commitment and employee initiative to maintain organizational honor and willing to take corresponding actions for the development of the organization are closely related and ultimately affect the individual's behavioral performance [8] [9].…”

A Research on the Socialization Tactics Applied by Newcomers to the Institutions

“…Proaktif olarak kurulan ilişkiler, yeni gelenin diğer grup üyeleriyle etkileşimini artırmakta ve işbirliği için gereken kişilerarası uyum becerilerini kazanmasına yardımcı olmaktadır (Wanberg & Kammeyer-Mueller, 2000).
