From the supplier: Socialization, from the modernist perspective, is the process of learning how to behave within an organization to survive and succeed. The postmodernist perspective would point out that modernists view socialization as a one-way process with the organization as a provider of what has to be learned and the individual as a passive recipient. Postmodernism claims that, on the contrary, individuals inform the the organizational culture, making socialization a two-way process. Behavioral patterns of success are also constantly formed and reformed by individuals involved in the process.
