The current research aims to test the effect of organizational socialization on job outcomes, through the interactive role of self-efficacy, based on the opinions of a sample of employees of the Electric Power Company / Middle Euphrates through the use of the analytical research method. In order to reach the objectives of the research, a hypothetical scheme was designed for research that determines the relationship between the independent variable, organizational socialization with its dimensions and the dependent variable, the functional outputs with its dimensions (situational outputs ((job satisfaction and organizational commitment)), behavioral outputs ((Helping behavior and audible voice))). The interactive variable is self-efficacy. For the purpose of clarifying the nature of the relationship that combines these variables, a set of main and subsidiary hypotheses was formulated and these hypotheses were tested after obtaining the necessary data from the field reality by relying on the questionnaire as the main tool for data collection, by distributing it to a random sample of individuals in a company Electricity / Middle Euphrates. Of them, (374) were valid questionnaires for statistical analysis with a response rate of (100%), of which (230) were for the new appointment, (24) for employees who were promoted, and (120) for employees who were transferred to the company
After conducting the statistical analysis of the data, which was done using a set of statistical methods and using the statistical programs (Excel) and the two statistical programs (SPSS v.23) and (AMOS v.23). For the purpose of testing research hypotheses.
