Abstract
The relationship between Organisational Socialisation and Organisational Commitment.The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between organisational socialisation and organisational commitment. Standardized
instruments were used for operationalising these two constructs. A sample of convenience yielded 168 respondents
out of a total population of 466 employees (Patterson C and D bands) from a stainless steel producer. Only 132 respondents
returned fully completed questionnaires that were used for final analysis. Responses from both questionnaires were subjected to a factor and item analysis. A statistically significant relation between organisational socialisation and organisational commitmentwas found. The implication of the findings are discussed further.
