Clausen, John A. (ed.) (1968) Socialisation and Society, Boston: Little Brown and Company
Socialization is strongly connected to developmental psychology. Humans
need social experiences to learn their culture and to survive. Socialization
essentially represents the whole process of learning throughout the life
course and is a central influence on the behavior, beliefs, and actions of
adults as well as of children.

Socialization may lead to desirable outcomes—sometimes labeled
"moral"—as regards the society where it occurs. Individual views are
influenced by the society's consensus and usually tend toward what that
society finds acceptable or "normal". Socialization provides only a partial
explanation for human beliefs and behaviors, maintaining that agents are
not blank slates predetermined by their environment; scientific research
provides evidence that people are shaped by both social influences
and genes. Genetic studies have shown that a person's environment
interacts with his or her genotype to influence behavioral outcomes.

Employers need to create opportunities for social interaction in the
workspace that can increase teamwork and engagement, without
sacrificing personal productivity. Consider how your employees utilize the
physical workspace. Design workspace for groups that encourages face to
face interaction, while also setting aside some workspace areas that are
quieter and more private for employees that are more easily distracted or
are working on very focused, intense projects. Make sure remote workers
can engage in face to face meetings, whether that is regular use of video
conferencing or bringing them to the office physically through the use of
shared workspaces.

When a small business sends several communications during the day, it's
easy for the reader to overlook an important memo or detail. During
socialization, employees often share updates on projects that may
otherwise be missed. Social activity also gives workers exposure to
different perspectives on changes in policies or projects. These exchanges
also allow small business owners and leaders to mentor and train
employees. Offering pointers in a more casual setting, such as the break
room, may put trainees more at ease. Sharing knowledge like success and
failures with the company, provides insight into others.

Socializing at work benefits the workplace through encouraging teamwork.
Small businesses rely on winning groups in the company to bring in big
dividends. Allowing these teams to give "high-fives," exchange
handshakes or spend a little time bragging may bolster their team spirit.
This type of socialization is infectious. Encourage teamwork by patting
winners on the back and giving kudos whenever you see company
winners. This brief, yet powerful socialization can be positive and powerful.
Socialization is the virtual petri dish that builds new, strong alliances
within your company. A strong alliance between a member of the
accounting department and a member of the production department could
result in a power team that finds a way to cut costs in production. Apply
this same socialization principle to two employees, one from customer
service and one from production. When a product goes awry, the two can
come up with fix, averting crisis with a strong alliance. Don't just allow
strong alliances, accommodate them by introducing two leaders from
opposite sides of the company.
