It's a key driver of ethical change because: - new members are most susceptible to influence and open to instruction about ethical behavior - discussion of ethics can be incorporated into these processes - valued learned will shape employee's behavior throughout their career - when they become veterans they'll communicate and model values to new generations Socialization starts before the member joins, during the interview and begins formally as they are trained and oriented. Preceptors and mentors play important role in socialization processes. Dysfunctional socialization can lead to immoral behavior through: - [[cooptation]] - [[incrementalism]] - [[compromise]] ## Sources [[Organizational Ethics - Johnson 2019]]
