A Sociologist looks at Induction

Abstract

Induction of new employees is generally held to be of vital importance in reducing labour turnover during the first few weeks of employment. In this paper some widely held views of induction are surveyed in conjunction with the actual problems of adjustment faced by the stranger to any organization, to conclude that there is a need to tailor induction programmes more closely to these problems of individual adjustment than is often the case.
