To avoid this, the significant elements are considered as hypothesis. The method is descriptive/ survey and correlation.

The main purpose of the research is comparative study of the present status and desirable status of the employees’ socialization system in the Economic and Finance Affairs organization at Golestan province and affiliate offices which situated in new positions, and providing strategies to improve the plan. To get the view points and ideas of the employees, some issues are discussed with them. Keywords: socialization, employees, education, organization, the present and desirable status. 1 Statements of the Problem The more human resources and workforce of an organization enjoy enough knowledge and higher intellectual and spiritual vitality, they better able to meet the goals of the organization. To achieve this and the desirable status, primitive service and in-service training should be obtained at the top of educational activities as a strategic plan. Employees responsible for the organizational responsibility are the ones, who reached a sufficient knowledge and possess the required efficiency. The researcher tried to determine the rate of familiarizing the employees with the history, goals and generally the basis of the organization, and also to determine amount of their knowledge about the rules of the organization, description of the job and duty, facilities and amenities, and the process of job promotion. At least, all of these are implemented to achieve the main goal of the research in terms of awareness of the situation of the socialization system in the mentioned organization, and are tested beside. The Research Literature Learning: means fairly permanent changes in the behavior of the person. Socialization system: means familiarization of the staffs with the related matters such as wages and benefits, job description, rules and regulations, values and norms, goals and history of the organization, the ruled culture and customs etc. that the organization must implement it so to provide the required preparations for the effective interaction of the staff with the organization. Training/ education: it means “an attempt to improve job performance related to the job and its relevant matters.” Employees: means who works for servicing to the Economic and Finance Affairs organization of Golestan province and affiliate office. The present status and the desirable status: by present status, it means the current situation of the socialization system, and desirable status means the expected situation of the employees of the organization. 2 Learning: is the process of changing behavior relatively that largely stems from stimulating factors (internal/ external) by experience and exercise, and prepares the person to meet the needs or adapt to the environment. According to the follow, learning includes three parts: 1) Learning is a changing behavior whether for better or for worse, 2) is a changing that result of exercise or experience not growth, 3) is a fairly permanent change with long duration. Regarding above, the due time cannot be exactly determined for learning process. Hence, change in behavior is not necessarily followed by learning because learning is somehow permanent change that is created based on the current situation, and the process will be strength in the changing and variable situations; the reason is that the person reacts to the surrounding events and the response cause to some (cognitive/mental/ dynamic and emotional) changes in the behavior of the person. It may lead to emerge three modes in the behavior: 1. The changing behavior may include cognitive aspects such as knowledge, information, ideas etc. 2. The change in behavior may be psychological-dynamic, means it relates to skills of the person. 3. The change in behavior may include emotional aspects, means feelings, attitudes and values. Then, learning, as it is seen, include everything we do or think about. (Shoari Nejad, 69: 2002) According above, learning is achieved under three conditions: 1- Exposure to a new situation or problem that prevent the person to satisfy the needs. 2- By motivation or stimuli 3- Preparation which include three: 1. Physical 2. Mental and social 3. Emotional Generally, learning is in fact fairly permanent changes in individual’s behavior that is result of the surrounding events. (Shoari Nejad, 71: 2002) 3 Methods of learning: the staffs are educated through some ways, for example: Booklets: booklets can provide the contents (information) completely for the future studies and also is considered as an amplifier in learning sessions. I other words, by studying the booklets (notes), before the class, one would learn better about the discussed subject. Visual learning: such case as movies, theater, overhead, and board can attract more the learners’ attention. Teacher’s guide: a teacher’s guide should be presented to the teacher so he has enough time to study and preparing teaching materials and the method. Special technical facilities: a video, film projector and a tape recorder or other devices can be useful for learning. One should prepare the tools before the class. These are better applied by an experienced learner, otherwise reduce learning. (Divangahi, 149: 2001) The Importance and Necessity of Staff Learning Today, by many technical changes in human societies, businesses of organizations are also changed, and the qualified staffs possess skill and knowledge related to the job, and as the modern societies need to develop human beings, the staffs should able to operate a set of different skills in various jobs with a good insight, that help to achieve the organization’s goals by useful performing task through creativity, innovation and extensive knowledge. Life of the organization largely depends on the skills, awareness, and knowledge of its employees. The more the employees educated, they can better involved in improving organizational performance. The educated employees can also more adapt themselves to the variable environmental pressures. Human knowledge, Abtahi states in his book Training and Development of Human Resources, doubles every five years and this is changing everything, so is it possible HR of an organization wouldn’t get familiar with the changes? It is clear that fate and longevity of the organization will be at risk in terms of neglecting employees’ education and training, that is why the HR of the 4 developed countries usually attend training classes at least once a year. (Abtahi, 10: 2002) Significance of Socialization: means making familiar the individual with the organization in various aspects. If entering to an organization and getting familiar with the rules, regulation and proper and desirable methods is truly done, the newcomer learns the procedure and his duty quickly. It will be affective in durability of the organization if it be a successive experience for the new member, because he accepts the main standards by heart and adopt himself to them. Since anxiety largely the quantity and quality of work, it should be predetermined for the anxious member on the first working day to eliminates and calm down. Few people at the arrival can be found to have a true working and social relationship with coworkers or get familiar with the job details. The new member most moderates his behavior somehow and behaves according to rules, regulations and organizational norms. Entering into a new environment deserves the conformity, because duties and responsibilities are different in the new job. The new member should also make relationship with the boss and coworkers to be successful. In other words, it takes time for the new comer to reach the desirable position, so there would be a plan to resolve the basic problems of entering to an unfamiliar environment and help him in his establishment in the organization. (Saadat, 161: 2007) There is a close relationship between the social and sense of personality and personal authenticity; more successful socialization system led to raise more innovative staff, originality and personal authenticity will be high in terms of high level socialization. 1) The lower the socialization and individualization be, individuals will be isolated. 2) Individuals raise compatible in case of high socialization and low individualization. 3) Individuals behave as rebellious and rough in terms of the lower socialization and higher individualization. 4) High socialization and individualization led to rise of creative and innovative member in the organization.

The job design and its role led to increase efficiency and performance in one side, and job satisfaction and development on the other side. 6 1-Psychological attitudes which is also called motivational attitude that is usually categorized to three parts: a.

(Salmani, 111: 2005) Career Development Today, managers, employees, researchers and public legislators pay attention to improve quality of working life. Working men and women and young people, especially those with high education attend more to jobs effective for them and related to their profession.
