Pentingnya taktik sosialisasi memberikan organisasi keunggulan kompetitif dan anggota berkomitmen tinggi, seperti produktivitas tinggi dan rendahnya tingkat turnover di antara para anggota. Oleh karena itu, organisasi dengan berbagai ukuran dan tipe rela berinvestasi pada kebijakan dan praktik organisasi yang mendorong komitmen anggotanya. Perusahaan startup menjadi konteks dalam penelitian ini karena mereka telah menerima perhatian selama beberapa dekade terakhir. Selain itu, mereka dianggap sebagai kekuatan pendorong baru untuk pertumbuhan ekonomi di dunia dan termasuk negara-negara berkembang seperti Indonesia. Studi ini menguji pengaruh taktik sosialisasi pada komitmen organisasi pendatang baru melalui mekanisme relasional dengan melihat sejauh mana pendatang baru merasakan dukungan dan bantuan dari organisasi dalam proses adaptasi terhadap lingkungan kerja baru (perceived organizational suppor (POS)) dan pada sejauh mana pendatang baru memiliki jaringan hubungan dengan anggota organisasi lainnya (job embeddedness). Data dikumpulkan dari 188 karyawan baru perusahaan startup di sekitar Jakarta (Jabodetabek). Konsisten dengan hipotesis penelitian, taktik sosialisasi memengaruhi komitmen organisasi pendatang baru melalui perceived organizational support (POS) dan job embeddedness. Hasil penelitian ini mendukung hubungan antara taktik sosialisasi dan komitmen melalui mekanisme relasional yang ditangkap oleh perceived organizational (POS) yang dirasakan pendatang baru dan job embeddedness.
