Role of Induction Programme in Organizational Learning and Knowledge Creation

Abstract

Organizations learn on a daily basis. Most of the learning happens through organizational routines which adds to organization’s knowledge base. Induction programme is a routine activity undertaken in the companies to transmit relevant information to the newly hired employees. The extant literature lacks the understanding of making induction programme a facilitator to organizational learning and knowledge creation. Keeping this in mind, we develop a framework to present a mechanism of induction programme facilitating organizational learning and knowledge creation through Socialization and psychological safety. Further examination of this framework would integrate the overarching literature of organizational learning and knowledge management.
