ABSTRACT = {Employee well-being has received considerable attention over the past 
decades. Little has been done to examine the linkage between organizational 
socialization and work engagement, one of the most important indicators of wellbeing at work. Drawing upon the conservation of resources (COR) theory, we 
propose and test relationships between organizational socialization, employee 
psychological capital, work engagement, and leader psychological capital. Using 
data from 268 newcomers nested within 36 teams, the results show that (1) 
organizational socialization is positively related to work engagement; (2) 
employee psychological capital mediates the relationship between organizational 
socialization and work engagement; (3) leader psychological capital moderates 
the relationship between organizational socialization and work engagement and 
the relationship between employee psychological capital and work engagement. 
We discuss the limitations of the study and the implications for future research 
on organizational socialization and employee well-being.},
