Purpose

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of organisational socialisation tactics, namely, context-based, content-based and social-based tactics, on affective commitment by the mediating role of perceived organisational support.

Design/methodology/approach

A quantitative study was conducted using a judgmental sample of 119 newcomers with one-year experience or less in Jordanian small and medium-sized enterprises. The collected data were analysed using bootstrapped procedure by the partial least squares-structural equation modelling.

Findings

The empirical results show that perceived organisational support plays a crucial role in mediating the relationships between socialisation tactics and affective commitment. Specifically, both social-based tactics and content-based tactics have a significant indirect effect on affective commitment through perceived organisational support. However, context-based tactics do not directly or indirectly influence affective commitment or perceived organisational support significantly.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is among the first studies in the Jordanian context that investigate the relationship between organisational socialisation and affective commitment by the mediating role of perceived organisational support, thus adding originality to the existing literature. Furthermore, this study contributes to the scholarly debate on the relationship between socialisation and outcomes.

组织社交化的支持性方面：如何提高员工的投入度

目的

本研究的目的是调查组织社会化策略，即基于情境、基于内容和基于社会的策略，通过感知组织支持的中介作用对情感承诺的影响。

设计/方法论/途径

一项定量研究采用了 119 名在约旦中小企业工作一年或以下的新员工的判断样本进行。使用偏最小二乘结构方程建模的引导程序对收集的数据进行分析。

发现

实证结果表明，感知的组织支持在调节社会化策略和情感承诺之间的关系中发挥着至关重要的作用。具体来说，基于社会的策略和基于内容的策略都通过感知的组织支持对情感承诺产生显着的间接影响。然而，基于情境的策略不会直接或间接显着影响情感承诺或感知的组织支持。

原创性/价值

据作者所知，这项研究是在约旦背景下通过感知组织支持的中介作用来调查组织社会化与情感承诺之间关系的首批研究之一，从而为现有文献增添了原创性。此外，这项研究促进了关于社会化与结果之间关系的学术辩论。
