AB  - Organizational socialization is the process of newly-hired employees adapting to the new working environment and roles in organizations. New hires and managers are the two critical members of the socialization process. Limited literature has revealed the managers’ perspective. Moreover, the comparison between the socialization actions of newly-hired employees and engineering managers has not been fully explored. 

Based on the proactive actions and the supportive actions identified from twenty-six newly-hired engineers and seven engineering managers, this study compares the two perspectives by following Morrison’s framework of primary socialization tasks (i.e., Role Clarification, Task Mastery, Acculturation, and Social Integration). Similarities and differences between newcomers’ and managers’ actions during the socialization process are revealed, specifically in the context of the U.S. aerospace and defense (A&D) industry. 
 
This study expands the research literature to reveal both perspectives of newly-hired engineers and engineering managers. This study aims to help newly-hired engineers and engineering managers reduce misunderstanding during the socialization process and inform engineering educators and college students to prepare to enter the A&D industry.
