**7. The process of socialization in organization**

Parents impart societal standards to their children, but socialization is not a oneway process. Students are active participants in the socialization process. They do not receive from the socializer in a passive manner. They are physically or culturally predisposed to be socialized more or less easily in various aspects of their lives. They process socialization-related information, accepting or rejecting it as appropriate. They are more accepting of some forms of control than others, in part because some forms of misbehavior, such as bodily and psychological injury to others, are fundamentally more problematic than others, such as social convention violations [61]. Some steps are required in the socializing process. Stages of socialization are a term used to describe these steps [62].

The initial stage of socialization is investigation. During this stage of the socialization process, an individual assesses a group to see if it is a good fit for him or her. The group follows suit. The end of this stage occurs when the group extends an invitation to the newcomer and the newcomer accepts. The second phase is known as socialization. The new member adopts the culture of the group, whether it is correct or wrong, and good or bad. They blend in with the group, adopting its norms, attitudes, and beliefs. The maintenance stage is the third stage of the organization's socialization process. The new member and the group agree what the group expects of the new member, such as how they should act or another contribution, during the maintenance stage. If an individual fails to meet collective expectations, they can be kicked out, or they can renegotiate and rejoin the group. The other option is to re-socialize. Depending on the conclusion of the maintenance stage, the member will either be welcomed back into the group or taught to act appropriately, or they will be evicted and forced to learn to live outside of it. The last stage is the remembering stage. In this section, people who have left the group reflect on their experiences [17, 44].
