| dc.description.abstract | 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
full effect of digital socialization and the possibilities it carries. We collected our
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 | en_US |
