An interactionist perspective on newcomer socialization rates
Article Abstract:
A symbolic interactionist perspective on the genesis of meaning and identity is used as a general theoretical framework to explain the specifics of newcomer socialization processes in organizations. This framework suggests that interactions with insiders in the setting may be an important, but largely overlooked, influence on the rate at which newcomers negotiate the first (encounter) stage of the socialization process. The role of interactions between newcomers and insiders is emphasized as the primary vehicle through which initial socialization occurs. A model of the interactionist perspective is presented and directions for future research are discussed. (Reprinted by permission of the publisher.)

A cognitive categorization model for the study of intercultural management
Article Abstract:
This paper presents a cognitive categorization model of intercultural management that focuses on interaction between an expatriate manager and a host country subordinate. The paper outlines some of the effects that culture may have upon the content and structure of schemas, the extent to which automatic versus controlled information processing occurs, and the use of the model to examine convergence of cognitive structures through intercultural dynamics.
