Zusammenfassung

In diesem Beitrag der Zeitschrift „Gruppe. Organisation. Interaktion. (GIO)“ wird ein Modell organisationaler Akkulturation entwickelt, das beschreibt, wie beim Eintritt von Arbeitsmigrant/-innen in Organisationen durch das Zusammentreffen unterschiedlicher Kulturen akkulturative und sozialisationsbedingte Stressoren entstehen und das dabei auch die Perspektive der bereits in der Organisation tätigen Personen berücksichtigt. Dabei werden Ansätze der Akkulturationsforschung mit Ansätzen der Sozialisationsforschung verknüpft. Intrapersonelle (zyklisches Zusammenspiel von Information, Unsicherheitsreduktion und Lernen) und interpersonelle (Voice, Partizipation, Empowerment, soziale Unterstützung) Copingprozesse führen zu einer gelungenen Anpassung der Arbeitsmigrant/-innen. Eine erfolgreiche Anpassung wirkt sich wiederum positiv auf weitere arbeitsbezogene Ergebnisse aus. Das Modell berücksichtigt, dass durch die zusätzliche Herausforderung der Anpassung an eine neue Kultur die organisationale Sozialisation für Arbeitsmigrant/-innen komplexer verläuft. Das Modell liefert Ansatzpunkte für Forschung und Praxis.

Abstract

This article in the journal “Gruppe. Organisation. Interaktion. (GIO)” portraits a model of organizational acculturation that describes the emergence of acculturative and socialization stressors upon the encounter of different cultures when migrant workers enter organizations, while taking into account the perspective of persons already employed in those organizations. This model combines approaches of acculturation and socialization research. Intrapersonal (cyclic interplay of information, uncertainty reduction and learning) and interpersonal (voice, participation, empowerment and social support) coping-processes lead to successful adaptation of work migrants. In turn, successful adaptation has positive effects on further work-related outcomes. The model takes account of the fact that due to the additional challenge of having to adapt to a new culture, organizational socialization of work migrants proceeds in a more complex fashion. The model provides starting points for future research and practical applications.
