Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the encounter stage, new employees experience the reality of their expectations of the organization. This is the stage where they adjust their expectations and start to form opinions about the organization. The pre-arrival stage is when the employee forms their initial expectations of the organization. The post-arrival stage is when the employee has fully adjusted to the organization, and the metamorphosis stage is when the employee has fully integrated into the organization's culture. The post-encounter stage is not a recognized stage in the socialization process.
