Covid-19 has accelerated the trends of digital socialization. The differences

between traditional and digital socialization are enough to influence the

socialization process for graduate newcomers. Researchers have yet to explore the

data through a self-completion survey from newcomers who had graduated within

the last 12 months from business schools. This study focuses on graduate

newcomers and how digital socialization affects their socialization process. First,

we examined whether virtual work is related to organizational socialization, and

second, how virtual socialization tactics and virtual supervisor support relate to

organizational socialization. Lastly, we examined the relationship between virtual

work and intention to quit by performing a mediator analysis with the three

organizational socialization domains: organization, role and relationship. The

results indicate that virtual work is not directly related to graduate newcomer

socialization. However, virtual socialization tactics were related to socialization in

the organization domain, and virtual supervisor support was related to

socialization in the role and relationship domain. We did not find any support for

the relationship between virtual work and intention to quit in our mediator analys
