Professional Adaptation of New Employees to the Organization

Abstract

The article discusses the problem of occupational adaptation, which is a significant motivator for keeping a job. The concern of employers that the subordinates are best suited to the work they perform is important for the efficient and effective operation of the entire organization. When an employee has a sense of adaptation to the tasks and requirements of the work imposed on him, he achieves a positive state of well-being, thus striving to stay in the company for as long as possible. Efforts of the organization to ensure the required quality of work already at the stage of introduction into the organization translate into benefits from the skills and competencies of the new employee. The aim of the article is to present selected issues related to the professional adaptation of newly hired employees in the workplace. In the theoretical part, the essence and scope of professional adaptation of newly hired employees were pointed out and the factors conditioning the achievement of adaptation to the organization were analyzed. The empirical part discusses adaptation tools, which organizations use to provide employees with support in the process of introduction to work. It also examines the level of their effectiveness in adapting to work in selected aspects of the organization’s functioning.

“…№ 2 (34), 2021 В отношении рассматриваемого концепта уместно уточнить, что социально-профессиональная адаптация характеризуется как приспособление к профессии и начинается она ещё с этапа профессионального образования [4]. Социально-профессиональная адаптация может длиться, несмотря на временную нетрудоустроенность, если человек продолжает развивать профессиональные практики, допустим, ориентируясь на требования работодателей к соискателю актуальных вакансий; напротив, трудовая адаптация прерывается при смене места работы [13].…”

“…Концептуализация социально-профессиональной адаптации позволит осуществить операционализацию данного понятия и рассмотреть особенности его социологического измерения на эмпирическом уровне. Такой ракурс исследовательского анализа придаёт теме социально-профессиональной адаптации теоретическую новизну и вместе с тем приобретает практическую значимость, Социологическая наука и социальная практика № 2 (34), 2021 когда речь идёт о важности скорости адаптации современных кадров к цифровой экономике и возможностях полноценной и плодотворной реализации человеческого капитала в профессиональной сфере [14].…”

Exploring the Process of Occupational Adaptation among Novice Lecturers: A Preliminary Case Study

“…Occupational adaptation is a concept used in occupational therapy to describe the process of interaction between people, their occupations, and their environment in response to occupational challenges [3]. Joanna [4] defines occupational adaptation as a process of adapting newly hired employees to the new conditions of their working environment.
