Purpose: This study was conducted to develop an organizational instrument on socialization for new graduate nurses in the workplace, and to test its reliability and validity. Method: A methodological design was used to develop the instrument. Data were collected from new clinical nurses in 188 hospitals nationwide in Korea. In the first stage, 159 items were developed through a literature review. In the second stage, seven experts conducted a content validity test and the number of items was reduced to 155. In the third stage, factor analysis was performed to analyze the data collected from 198 nurses in 8 hospitals using the modified instrument. A total of 65 items were included and a five-point Likert scale was used. In the fourth stage, the final evaluation instrument was finalized as comprising 11 factors in 7 domains, using 39 items developed from analysis of the data collected from 1,410 nurses using the 40 items. It was comprised of 11 factors in 7 domains. The SPSS 11.0 windows program was used. Results: Accumulated variation for the 11 factor-39 items nurse organizational instrument on socialization was 67.22%. The results of the reliability test indicated that Cronbach's coefficient for the total 39 items was over 0.97. Conclusion: The instrument developed in this study has a high degree of reliability and validity.
