Chapter 10 in Organizational Behavior in Sport Management, 2021, pp 103-114 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract As has been widely discussed throughout this book, communication between sport organizations and their employees is a critical but challenging process. We’ve also discussed the importance of organizational culture in defining the organization’s identity, as well as the role person-organization fit plays in helping employees determine if their values are in line with those of their employer. This chapter explores how each of those topics relates to how sport organizations socialize new employees into the organization. Specifically, we’ll examine how organizations communicate with new employees and how new employees search for and perceive information about their workplace. The chapter ends with a brief discussion on psychological contracts between sport employees and sport organizations.
