The present pork is mainly a presentation of the findings of studies, analyses and theoretical generalizations flowing from them and concerning behaviours of new employees in an industrial company. The studies aimed at reconstructing the process (and its stages) of becoming a member of an industrial company an.d organization culture. A psycho-social theoretical perspective called symbolical interactionism was used when describing activities of employees and their social environment. Researchers of social life belonging to this orientation were usually using their general theoretical assumptions and methods for empirical investigations of daily interhuman interactions. Consequently, theories describing chosen areas of social reality were anchored in and incorporated into the social and human world, and they could be fully formulated only when a researcher obtained direct knowledge about people investigated by him. On the other hapd, conceptions describing human individuals pointed at creativeneés and processuality of activities carried by social actors.
