ORGANISATIONAL ASSIMILATION AND EMPLOYEE SOCIALISATION: A STUDY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINES AND TECHNOLOGY..

ABSTRACT The study examines organisational assimilation and employee socialisation of the University of Mines and Technology, Tarkwa. The case study particularly draws on Jablin’s organisational assimilation theory. Data for the study were collected through indepth face-to-face interviews. Six participants were selected for this study made up of two (2) senior members, two (2) senior staff and two (2) junior staff. The findings of the study indicate that participants went through assimilation process to fit into the culture of the organisation and to be able to perform their duties accordingly. The study also revealed that the University of Mines and Technology’s socialisation process includes orientation and training, mentorship and a ‘Day of relaxation’ to aid the newcomer to become a member. These socialisation processes are conducted through communication. The study will help improve policies and programmes used to assist new employees to be members of organisations. It will also contribute knowledge to the field of organisational socialisation.
