title: Organizational culture: helping new graduates adjust.
abstract: New graduates' successful adjustment to their work situation influences their ability to apply the principles and concepts they have learned in school. The author suggests that an understanding of organizational culture can facilitate this adjustment by assisting new graduates to select a work group suitable for them, to adapt to this group, and to bring about change within the group. Suggestions for teaching students about organizational culture are included.
