Downsizing outcomes: Better a victim than a survivor?
研究对比裁员中的被裁员工（受害者）与留任员工（幸存者）的后续体验，发现找到新工作的受害者比幸存者感知到更高的控制感、更低的压力和更少的负面工作紧张。
Abstract Is it better to be laid off when a downsizing initiative is announced? We analyze the outcomes experienced by both victims and survivors involved in a major downsizing program, and present a model of downsizing stress. Results indicate that displaced employees, or “victims,” who secure new employment fare better than survivors. The victims in our study perceive higher levels of control, less stress, and fewer negative job strains than continuing workers, or “survivors.” These results lend credence to suggestions that stress and control are critical factors in understanding employee reactions to downsizing. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
