Abstract: Organizational socialization is a process of adaptation from an outsider to an effective and participative insider. There’re great needs to integrate the research on organizational socialization for its divided and fragmented status and lack of core theories. After analyzing the necessities of integration and the possibilities of integration using symbolic interactionism, the relationship between symbolic interaction and organizational socialization was manifested, and the person-environment interactionist model was built. Finally, the issues worthy of further study, such as examing the model more deeply and paying more attention to mediators and moderators, were pointed out

Key words: organizational socialization, interactionist, symbolic interactionism
