Keeping Your Headcount When All About You Are Losing Theirs: Downsizing, Voluntary Turnover Rates, and The Moderating Role of HR Practices
研究裁员对组织自愿离职率的影响,发现组织承诺起中介作用,而人力资源实践(如员工嵌入、程序公平)能缓解这种影响,职业发展实践则可能加剧。
Although both downsizing and voluntary turnover have been topics of great interest in the organizational literature, little research addresses the topics' possible relationship. Using organization-level data from multiple industries, we first investigate whether downsizing predicts voluntary turnover rates. Second, to support our causal model, we examine whether aggregated levels of organizational commitment mediate this relationship. Third, we test whether the downsizing-turnover rate relationship is (1) mitigated by HR practices that either embed employees in their organization or convey procedural fairness and (2) strengthened by HR practices that enhance career development. Results support the hypothesized main, mediated, and moderated effects.
