다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper is based on the hypothesis that the newcomers in the process of organizational socialization are not passive but active in seeking information to adjust themselves to the organization. The purpose of this paper is to study the influence of information seeking behaviors of the newcomers and feedback of the supervisors, the co-workers and themselves as socialization agents is observed on newcomers` job satisfaction. The results of this study show that the group whose information-seeking behaviors are active has higher job satisfaction than the group who are passive at the entry stage, while at the setting-in stage, there is no significant difference between the two groups. As for the sources of feedback, at the entry stage, supervisor`s feedback has higher impacts on newcomers` job satisfaction than coworkers` or newcomers` feedback have, while the self-feedback has higher influences on job satisfaction as they move to setting-in stage. These results imply that, in the organizational socialization, not only the role of socialization-tactics or agents but also that of newcomers are significant, and that the role of information is crucial in the socialization of newcomers.
