dc.description.abstractDue to COVID-19, a lot of newcomers had their organizational socialization process from home, which lead to barriers and even opportunities that incline or decline work motivation. This study aims to contribute to the studies on the organizational socialization process from home, work motivation, and the emerging field of study of the impact of COVID-19 on the working life and how the organizational socialization process from home can be more beneficial and more motivational. 12 in-depth semi-structured interviews with interviewees with an age between 20 and 30 years old were conducted and analyzed using template analysis. The results showed that the organizational socialization process from home requires adjustment from newcomers as well as employers. A disbalance between job demands and resources during the organizational socialization process often declines the work motivation of the newcomers. The biggest barrier that makes the organizational socialization process from home difficult and declines the work motivation the most is the missing contact with co-workers. This includes the difficulty to get to know co-workers and the ability to get help from more experienced co-workers, which young newcomers appreciate. This research shows employers that supporting newcomers in helping them meet co-workers and improve co-worker contact would improve their work motivation and the organizational socialization process from home.en_US
