Most studies of professional socialization have traditionally focused on the resistance by those being socialized to the staff's goals. This paper presents data which suggest that conformity to the staff's goals is also achieved. The issues (central professional values) in which conformity is achieved are specified, and the mechanism through which the staff reaches its goals is outlined. Data for this paper were gathered in a British military academy.
