How newcomers use role models in organizational socialization

“…Role models are described in the literature as having a variety of functions, as living evidence that certain achievements are possible, and as models for emulation in achieving and maintaining certain social positions. Although it has been recognized that role models are important in organizational socialization (Hackett, Esposito andO´Halloran 1989, Nauta andKokaly 2001), the defining characteristics of role models and exactly how they influence, remains somewhat unclear (Hackett, Esposito andO´Halloran 1989, Jung 1986).

“…Self-esteem is posited as a dependent variable in relation to academic adjustment and confidence (7A) and to anticipated (7B1), or perceived (7B2), academic success. Self-esteem has been shown to be a dependent variable (Arnold, 1980;Gleich, 1988);Hackett, 1989;Hoehlein, 1985;Karen, 1990).
