Directions (12-19): Read the following passage and answer the given questions based on the 
information provided in the passage. 
 
New employee orientation programs have been shown to socialize newcomers and increase their 
knowledge, skills, and abilities upon completion. These types of programs are perhaps the most 
influential piece of an employee’s development. Although many organizations include orientation as 
part of their new employee development tactics, few truly utilize its full scope. New employee 
orientation programs are deliberate attempts by an organization to introduce a new employee to what 
working for the organization will be like. Although orientations can teach some important skills and 
abilities, they also teach new employees about the organization’s history, goals, values, people, politics, 
and language. Orientation programs start off the socialization process and help the new employee fit 
into his or her new surroundings. New employee orientation programs may sometimes feel like a stale 
period of high anxiety and stress while training takes place when these potentially harmful feelings 
have most likely been resolved. A great deal of time and money is spent every year socializing and 
technically training employees.  
Making sure this investment is well spent should be a central concern. However, this is not always the 
case. Because training is expensive, organizations should make sure they are effectively preparing 
employees to run for on-the-job success by delivering the proper training content and teaching it the 
right way. Assessing the training needs of new employees consumes time and money, but it sends the 
message that the organization is committed to the development of its employees, to giving them the 
right tools to perform and putting them in a position where they can succeed, all of which are 
recognized goals of new employee orientation programs. Helping a new employee fit into his or her 
job and organization is important when considering job satisfaction, commitment, and retention. 
Whether potential candidates accept the job or not is somewhat influenced by how well they believe 
they will fit into that company. Thus, developing an orientation program that will not only properly 
train new hires, but successfully introduce them to their new organization is extremely important. 
The attributes an employee needs to succeed on the job, including those desired upon entry into the 
job, can be found through an analysis of the necessary knowledge, skills, and abilities required to 
perform the essential functions of the job. Since technical skills training is meant to enhance those skills 
and abilities needed for a job, it makes sense that training should have a close 
___________(I)___________ to whether or not a new employee fits into his or her environment. A big 
difference between Japanese and western organizations is that orientation programs are much more 
important to Japanese organizations because they want to cement a lasting relationship with new 
employees. Thus, the Japanese approach to selection and recruitment also works hand in hand. 
Japanese firms hire almost entirely at the entry-level. This is done so that the new arrival can be 
properly trained and socialized into the organization to be a good fit. The length of this process can 
vary from six months to three years, whereas in many western organizations a new employee merely 
completes the required HR paperwork and is then suddenly expected to execute the role for which he 
or she was hired.
