Socialization refers to the effect that the group or organization has on the individual.

This effect tends to be greatest when the individual is moving through more than one dimension simultaneously (for example, functional and hierarchical). In contrast, when is the individual most likely to have the greatest effect on the organization? (Are there honeymoon periods? Do lame ducks have any influence?) How might your answer depend on the tactics of socialization initially employed to bring the individual into the group or organization?
