Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore engineering managers’ perspectives on what actions they should perform to assist newly hired engineers and what proactive steps newly hired engineers should take during the onboarding/socialization period. In total, nine unique managers’ actions and nine distinct new engineers’ actions were identified by applying Morrison’s socialization framework and interviewing seven engineering managers working in aerospace companies. This study offers practical actions that engineering managers and new engineers can apply during the socialization period, and it provides research design guidance that engineering managers can use to find additional actions attuned to their organizations/workgroups.

摘要

本研究的目的是探讨工程经理对他们应该采取哪些行动来帮助新聘用的工程师以及新聘用的工程师在入职/社交期间应该采取哪些积极措施的看法。通过应用莫里森的社会化框架并采访了在航空航天公司工作的七名工程经理，总共确定了九名独特的经理行为和九名不同的新工程师行为。本研究提供了工程经理和新工程师可以在社会化期间应用的实际行动，并提供了研究设计指导，工程经理可以用来找到适合其组织/工作组的其他行动。
