Resiliência e socializa？？o organizacional entre servidores públicos brasileiros e noruegueses

the aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between resilience and organizational socialization among civil servants at two public universities in two different cultures, namely brazil and norway. organizational socialization research has shown that an individual's adjustment to a new job and organization tends to be a stressful event and resilience, defined as the ability to overcome stress or adversity, could be of importance when it comes to explaining the differences in socialization outcomes among individuals at the same organization. based on this assumption, research was conducted with a sample of brazilian and norwegian professors and technical-administrative employees. hierarchical regression analyses were carried out to observe and compare the predictive power of resilience in relation to organizational socialization. the results showed that overall resilience added a significant incremental prediction to organizational socialization, beyond nationality and occupation. the predictive power of resilience in relation to organizational socialization was higher among the brazilians than the norwegians. the practical implications, limitations and main contributions of the study are discussed, with suggestions for future research.
