Business I / Socialization and Professional Identity
Practice question · Multiple choice

A first-year consultant starts using the firm’s jargon, wearing its unofficial uniform, and judging her own slides by "what the partners would say." Which concept fits best?

Hints
  1. Whose judgment has she internalized?
  2. No one strips her identity, she absorbs a role.
Show the answer

C. Professional socialization

Why

She has internalized the firm as her generalized other: an invisible partner audits every slide. That is ordinary professional socialization, powerful, voluntary, and mostly unnoticed by the person it rebuilds.
