Practising socializing and instititionalizing

Annotation

The second volume of this e-book contains 3 empirical papers that investigate staff induction and, thus, illustrate further the value adding contribution a practice research perspective to uncover organizational dynamics especially as agents and their structures trans-act. The focus on transaction as opposed to just interaction acknowledges the power dynamics at play and reminds us the centrality of tensions in the way practices are formed and performed. The core theme that these papers enables us to explore in terms of the ways agents and structures transact is orientated towards employees learning of organizational practices as well as as organizations' learning from employees.
