Socialization Strongly Influences Employee Performance and Organizational Stability Your work performance depends to a considerable degree on knowing what you should or should not do. Understanding the right way to do a job indicates proper socialization. Furthermore, appraisal of your performance includes how well you fit into the organization. Can you get along with your coworkers? Do you have acceptable work habits? Do you demonstrate the right attitude and present appropriate behaviors? These qualities differ among jobs and organizations. For instance, on some jobs you will be evaluated higher if you are aggressive and indicate that you are ambitious. On others, or in other organizations, such an approach might be evaluated negatively. As a result, proper socialization becomes a significant factor in influencing both your actual job per- formance and how others perceive it.
