Background

Organizational socialization is a significant factor in new graduate nurses’ transition from students to professional nursing roles. However, there is a lack of understanding about the impact of external influences such as community and societal conditions. This study aimed to examine personal, community, and societal conditions on the organizational socialization of new graduate nurses.

Methods

New graduate nurses with two years or less experience at South Korean national university-affiliated hospitals participated in the survey. The main outcome variable was organizational socialization, with potential factors including personal conditions (grit, confusion in professional nursing values), community conditions (social support), and societal conditions (perceived social awareness of nurses, job opportunities). Bivariate analyses and multiple linear regression were conducted to determine the associations between organizational socialization and these factors.

Results

The final analysis included 262 responses, with a mean (SD) age of 24.32 (2.42) years. Most participants were female (91.60%), held a bachelor of science in nursing degree (91.98%), and were in their first nursing position (88.55%). The average (SD) duration of employment at the current hospital was 7.90 (2.56). Organizational socialization averaged 3.07 (SD = 0.36) out of 5. The results of the multiple regression analysis indicated that grit (coefficient = 0.24, p <.001), confusion in professional nursing values (coefficient = -0.18, p <.001), social support (coefficient = 0.09, p =.01), perceived social awareness of nurses (coefficient = 0.06, p =.03), and gender (female) (coefficient = -0.19, p =.002), were significantly associated with new graduate nurses’ organizational socialization, accounting for 49% of the variance.

Conclusion

The findings showed significant associations between new graduate nurses’ organizational socialization and personal (grit, confusions in professional nursing values), community (social support) and societal (perceived social awareness of nurses) conditions. These findings may offer insights for developing effective educational and training programs to improve new graduate nurses’ organizational socialization and transition.
