Employee Perceptions of Organizational Processes Selection, and Training

1 Employee Perceptions of Organizational Processes Selection, and Training 

Burt and Stevenson (2009) and Burt et al. (2009) examined employees perceptions of organizational processes and how these are associated with their reactions to new employees. Perceptions of recruit and selection processes are discussed in Chap. 5, and perceptions of socialization and prestart training processes are discussed in Chap. 6. Both chapters note how a perception that organizational processes helps ensure safety can be associated with a lowering of risk perceptions, a decrease in behaviors which should ensure safety, and thus an overall increase in workplace safety risk. Scales used to measure perceptions of tmst in selection process, trust in induction processes, and employees reactions to new employees (compensatory behaviors) are published in the appendix of Burt et al. (2009). 

Burt and Stevenson (2009) reported Cronbach s alphas of 0.67 for trust in selection and 0.67 for trust in induction, while Burt et al. (2009) reported Cronbach s alphas of 0.76 for trust in selection, 0.72 for trust in induction, and 0.70 for compensatory behaviors.
