摘要：Paying close attention to those new to an organization,whether fresh or experienced,whose primary interest is in (re)socialization,the current study intends to (1) further the concept of mentoring from a bilateral relationship to a community and culture fostered by developmental networks,(2) propose an integrated conceptual framework for organizational socialization,and (3) suggest implications for practice and future research.This study reviews,analyzes,and integrates research assets and subsequently re-conceptualizes the aggregate information as valid propositions and a conceptual framework.The findings include (1) 11 propositions regarding the relationships among network characteristics (embeddedness,diversity),developmental functions (career support,psychosocial support,and role modeling),and socialization outcomes (learning and attitudinal outcomes);and (2) an integrated conceptual framework that depicts a comprehensive mechanism through which developmental networks conduce to organizational socialization of newcomers.Implications are that developmental networking must be an individual’s fundamental competency and an essential part of organizational onboarding processes,and imperative for both members’ career development and innovative organizational culture.By integrating research assets on the developmental phenomenon into conceptualizations,this study furthers the concept of mentoring to organizational culture and stimulates a substantive discourse for theory-building towards organizational socialization from the developmental network perspective.
