Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Orientation is the process of completing new hires' employment-related paperwork, providing them with keys, identification cards, workspaces, and technology such as computers, company e-mail addresses, and telephone numbers. It also includes introducing the new hires to their coworkers (who will be important to their success), and familiarizing them with their jobs and with the company's work policies and benefits.

Socialization is a long-term process of planned and unplanned, formal and informal activities and experiences through which an individual acquires the attitudes, behaviors, and knowledge needed to successfully participate as a member of an organization and learns the firm's culture. Socialization helps new employees understand the values, processes, and traditions of the company and prepares them to fit into the organization and establish productive work relationships.
