Abstract

ARAUJO, Marley Rosana Melo de; OLIVEIRA-SILVA, Ligia Carolina  and  MARQUES, Erika Cavalcanti. Organizational socialization inventory: proposed new factor structure. Rev. Psicol., Organ. Trab. [online]. 2020, vol.20, n.1, pp.922-930. ISSN 1984-6657.  https://doi.org/10.17652/rpot/2020.1.16997.

Organizational socialization represents an important factor for understanding organizational behavior, which may be the answer to aspects related to the entry and permanence of people in organizations. Despite this, especially in the Brazilian context, recent studies addressing the topic remain rare, which may be due to the scarcity of robust measures. Thus, the present study aims to reassess the psychometric properties of the Organizational Socialization Inventory (OSI), proposing a reformulated instrument: the OSI-R. Two studies re-analyzed the theoretical model of socialization: one that reorganized the internal structure of the instrument through exploratory factor analysis, and another that confirmed the explanatory model derived from the first study. Results present a more parsimonious, non-redundant instrument with no negative factors. OSI-R may help improve the processes of the individual's entry into organizations, influence organizational results, and stimulate increased research in this field.

Keywords : organizational socialization; scale; validity study.
