Abstract

Extant literature has underlined the importance of newcomers’ socialization to the organization. However, the influence of coworker ostracism on newcomers’ performance and adjustment has not been noticed. Drawing on the strength model of self-control theory, we propose a model exploring how coworker ostracism impacts newcomers’ performance and adjustment through the mediation of state self-control. Through an empirical study, we find that coworker ostracism has a negative influence on newcomers’ in-role performance, task mastery, and social adjustment. Important theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
