Description
Summary:The following master’s thesis examines the potential impacts on career beginners during the COVID-19 pandemic and how their newcomer socialisation may be impacted in such unprecedented times, by drawing on qualitative research.

This thesis finds evidence for newcomer socialisation being influenced due to the associated burdens of working remotely, resulting in the majority of newcomers not yet feeling entirely integrated in the organisations.
