TLDR
This article found that early support and undermining had more significant relationships with work outcomes assessed after 90 days of employment than did increases or decreases in support or undermining over that time period, suggesting early support may lay a foundation for later work outcomes.
Abstract
While much organizational socialization occurs through interpersonal interactions, evidence regarding how these processes unfold over time has not been forthcoming. Results from a 14-wave longitudinal study with a sample of 264 organizational newcomers show that support of newcomers from coworkers and supervisors declines within the first 90 days of employment. Early support and undermining had more significant relationships with work outcomes assessed after 90 days of employment than did increases or decreases in support and undermining over that time period, suggesting early support and undermining may lay a foundation for later work outcomes. Proactive behavior partially mediated the relationship between support and more distal work outcomes, including withdrawal behaviors. Supervisor undermining was uniquely associated with higher turnover (exit) hazard.

Newcomer adjustment: Examining the role of managers' perception of newcomer proactive behavior during organizational socialization.

TL;DR: This work proposes that managers’ perception of newcomers’ proactive behaviors are associated with concordant manager behaviors, which, in turn, support newcomer adjustment and investigates a cognitive mechanism—managers’ evaluation of newcomers' commitment to adjust—which it is expected underlies the proposed relationship between newcomers' proactive behaviors and managers' supportive behaviors.
