Abstract: Based on the theory of social exchange, this paper explores the "black box" mechanism of organizational socialization tactics towards retention intention of new generation employees who are born after 1985 in technology enterprises. Through the hierarchical regression analysis of 224 new generation employees who are born after 1985 in technology enterprises, we conclude that organizational socialization tactics does have a significantly positive impact on retention intention of new generation employees; boundaryless career attitudes (boundaryless mindset and organizational mobility preference) have the mediating effects in the impact of organizational socialization tactics on retention intention of new generation employees; perceived organizational support has positive moderating effect on the impact of boundaryless career attitude (boundaryless mindset and organizational mobility preference) on retention intention of new generation employees. We suggest that the executives of technology enterprises be concerned about th effect of work environment on career attitude and retention intention of new generation employees, and improve new generation employee management.

Key words: organizational socialization tactics, boundaryless career attitudes, perceived organizational support, retention intention, theory of social exchange
