Tiivistelmä
communication processes in membership negotiation in their first workplace after graduation.
Design/methodology/approach – Instead of a one-time interview, the participants were contacted five to
ten times during the three to ten months, beginning when they entered the workplace. The data were analyzed
using a constant comparative method.
Findings – Three communication processes during membership negotiation were identified: developing
reciprocity, seeking and perceiving acceptance and becoming an active member. To experience membership,
newcomers need to achieve acceptance and engage in reciprocal communication in early interaction situations
with managers and coworkers.
Research limitations/implications – Only the experiences of newly graduated newcomers were studied.
This study illustrates the communication processes and social interaction evolving in membership negotiation
during newcomers’ entry.
Practical implications – Organizations need to re-evaluate their short orientation programs to support
membership negotiations in workplace communication.
Social implications – By recognizing the communication processes during membership negotiation, the
practices of newcomers’ entry can be developed to support the membership development.
Originality/value – This study contributes to membership negotiation by showing how newcomers join the
flow of membership negotiation through the processes of developing reciprocity, seeking and perceiving
acceptance and becoming an active member.
