        This research aimed to explore organizational socialization in the ecosystem of public education in Iran. This study was conducted using a mixed-method (qualitative-quantitative) approach. The qualitative part employed content analysis with an interpretive approach, following Attride-Stirling’s approach. The research environment in this section included articles and books in the field of organizational socialization. Data analysis in the qualitative section revealed the dimensions of organizational Socialization, including organizational adaptability, active behavior, organizational culture, future envisioning, and organizational proceduralism. The quantitative part used a descriptive survey method. The statistical population in the quantitative section consisted of teachers employed in different grades of public schools in selected provincial centers in 2021, who were selected through convenience sampling. The research instrument was a 127-item questionnaire derived from the qualitative part of the research and based on a 5-point Likert scale with content validity confirmed by subject matter experts and face validity established by several members of the target population. Structural validity was assessed through confirmatory factor analysis, and reliability was measured with Cronbach's alpha, which exceeded 0.70 for all items. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including factor analysis. Based on the factor loadings obtained for each item, the research model demonstrated desirable validity. To promote organizational socialization for novice and experienced teachers, it is recommended to utilize the actions derived from this research in organizational policy levels and teacher training programs.
