In this study, we explore different pathways during organizational socialization through the lens of the psychological contract using in‐depth longitudinal qualitative methods. Analysis of 112 critical incident interviews with 27 newcomers across their first year of work reveals five distinct psychological contract pathways through socialization, within which fulfilment and breach influence adjustment by facilitating or restricting opportunities to learn and integrate, as well as influencing attitudes and behaviour. The analysis reveals that whilst perceived psychological contract fulfilment facilitates newcomer adjustment, perceived breach can disrupt the process. We provide a detailed account of the way socialization and the psychological contract unfold for newcomers over time, and show that psychological contract events can significantly alter the course of adjustment.

通过组织社会化的途径：基于心理契约的纵向定性研究

在这项研究中，我们使用深入的纵向定性方法，通过心理契约的视角探索组织社会化过程中的不同途径。对 27 名新人工作第一年的 112 次重大事件访谈的分析揭示了通过社会化的五种不同的心理契约途径，在这些途径中，满足和违反通过促进或限制学习和融入的机会来影响调整，以及影响态度和行为。分析表明，虽然感知到的心理契约履行促进了新来者的调整，但感知到的违约可能会扰乱这一过程。我们详细介绍了新人随着时间的推移而展开的社交和心理契约的方式，
