Abstract

Throughout the article we reviewed the present literature on successful onboarding to identify determinants, measurement models, and outcomes associated with its success, ultimately offering pragmatic implementation techniques for companies to attain successful onboarding outcomes. We have applied a systematic approach to analyze relevant articles, categorizing determinants, measurement models, and outcomes into various classifications founded on their presence throughout the literature. Key findings include the identification of eleven determinants, four measurement mechanisms, and nine outcomes associated with successful onboarding. Integration of these factors provides organizations with practical strategies to enhance successful employee onboarding. This research enhances the current body of literature by synthesizing key determinants, measurement models, and outcomes associated with successful onboarding, offering a comprehensive framework for organizations to improve their onboarding processes.
