Abstract
This study aims to add knowledge to the interactionist socialization approach that influences work engagement toward the organization through a self-determination theory lens. A sample of 383 Pakistani newcomers with different educational and organizational backgrounds joined an organization within two years. The data were examined with 5000 bootstraps using the structural equation modeling approach. Organizational socialization tactics and newcomers' socialization behaviors directly and positively predicted work engagement. Newcomers’ PSB encourages social capital resources and work engagement in the workplace. Our research advances the knowledge of social capital resources for effective newcomers’ adjustment that leads to work engagement, which adds to the socialization literature.
