In Asia, where increasing numbers of women have been entering the workforce in recent decades, gender inequality in terms of career progression seems to be particularly prevalent. Although many studies have investigated the impact of issues such as occupational gender typing, tokenism, and pay inequity on Asian women at the workplace, the role of the individual’s early career experiences in organizations has received little attention. Organizational socialization forms a significant part of the individual’s early work experiences, and socialization can set the tone for the individual’s progress through the organization and career. This paper addresses two questions pertaining to organizational socialization and gender in the Asian context. First, the study investigated if female newcomers to organizations receive the same amount of socializing influences as their male counterparts. Secondly, the study investigated the moderating effect of gender on socialization practices and socialization outcomes. The study was conducted using a sample of business graduates of an Asian university. Results show that female newcomers receive less social support and mentoring in the form of social tactics than their male counterparts. Results also show that gender moderates the effects of socialization tactics on role outcomes. Female newcomers tend to benefit more through the mentoring and interaction provided through social tactics while male newcomers seem to benefit from structured learning.
