The study examines the impact of induction programs in shaping employees' experiences as they first enter the private sector in the banking environment, as viewed through an Organizational Behavior (OB) lens. A key study was on the ability of a structured induction process to develop new employees' levels of integration, engagement, and ultimately retention. Taking into account various qualitative and quantitative data from fiction and non-fiction research and its accompanying interviews, this research presented how organization culture - exemplified by socialization and other tactics - and organization leadership can, or were, able to create new hires who had or turned into "organization insiders" or members of the organization who were committed to its objectives. The research presented opportunities for organizations to improve their employee induction programs based on OB principles to better facilitate, and transitions from outsiders to insiders.
