New employees, including fresh graduates and those changing careers, regularly face challenges such as vagueness in the organizational environment, team adaptability, and expectation deviations. This study examined the effect of socialization on employee productivity in the Nigerian pharmaceutical industry focusing on the (i) effect of psychological well-being on employees' productivity and (ii) impact of cultural values on employees' productivity. A cross-sectional survey research design was adopted, utilizing both primary and secondary data sources. A 7-point Likert scale structured questionnaire was used, with a reliability test yielding a Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of 71.2. From a population of 435 staff at Tuyil Pharmaceutical Industry, a sample size of 205 κατ determined using Krejcie and Morgan (1970), and 197 questionnaires were duly filled. Data were analysed using multiple regression analysis. The findings for objective one revealed a significant effect of psychological well-being on employees' productivity, with an R' of 425 (42.6%), an F-statistic of 326.547, a beta value of 0.319, a t-value of 1.259, and a significant p-value of 0.000.
