public and private sector organization. Employee Onboarding is a complex and multifaceted concept
that requires a holistic approach to management and leadership. Employee onboarding is the process
of integrating new employees into an organization and providing them with the necessary
knowledge, skills, and tools to become productive and effective members of the team. The target of
this paper is to find out reasons for the existence of inefficient and ineffectiveness in an organization.
Data were obtained from scholarly databases such as Google scholar as well as grey literature
through predetermined material selection. The Erik Erikson's theory of socialization, also known as
the theory of psychosocial development was adopted as theoretical framework for analysis. The
theory believed that socialization involves the acquisition of a set of cultural and social values and
norms that shape an individual's identity and personality. However, a poor onboarding experience
was found which led to disengagement, negative impacts on team morale and productivity. Effective
onboarding practices can help ensure a successful transition for new employees and contribute to
their long-term success within the organization. Efficient operations in business, effective leadership
and Continuous improvement were recommended.
