Abstract:

The current study examined the influence that work group and task socialization has on citizens of
Mexico in the U.S. on an H-1B visa and is grounded in Expectancy Violations Theory (EVT). The
participants (N = 241) were citizens of Mexico in the U.S. on an H1-B visa. The findings indicated that
work group socialization was found to be positively related to organizational commitment and negatively related to role ambiguity and work alienation. Additionally, work group socialization was found to be a greater predictor of organizational commitment and negative predictor of role ambiguity, and work alienation than was task socialization.
