Upplevelsen av onboarding predicerar arbetsidentitet

Sammanfattning: Most organizations have some form of onboarding process, which is a longer process of an introduction for the new employees. Onboarding can be explained as a relationship between the talent of the new employee and the productivity of the organization. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the onboarding process predicted work identity (personal/collective). To investigate this, digital questionnaires were sent to various employees in the construction industry. This was to limit our selection as well as interest in the industry. The questionnaires consisted two different parts, the first on onboarding and the second on work identity (personal/collective) and was answered by 152 persons (mean age M = 35,55, SD = 8,98). The responses were first analyzed by a factor analysis where we obtained three components, which were: start-up, experience and culture. Later, four regression analyzes were performed in IBM statistics SPSS 24. The result showed that the experience component (which included questions about preparation, safety and belonging) predicted work identity (personal/collective).
