Based on the HRBSC architecture model for each of the four main categories, including socialization outcomes , competencies required for socialization agents , socialization practices , and socialization systems conceptual codes were identified in various studies. The process model of socialization architecture will help human resource experts to have an integrated view on the socialization process and determine what results are required in the organizational socialization in order to determine socialization systems, socialization practices and the competencies required for socialization agents.
