Job Adjustment

Job Adjustment is an academic construct denoting the process through which a new employee cognitively, affectively, and behaviorally aligns with the demands, norms, and expectations of a specific role, distinguishing it from broader onboarding by focusing on role-specific adaptation rather than organizational socialization.
