Employment security at DEC: Sustaining values amid environmental change
基于数字设备公司的案例，研究其通过重组和减员但不裁员的计划来稳定就业的过程、关键选择及对个人和公司的影响，并探讨对人力资源原则的启示。
Abstract This article, based on a case study of Digital Equipment Corporation, examines issues raised by efforts to stabilize employment. The specific case is a large program which restructured and reduced employment without resorting to layoffs. The article describes the DEC process, the key choices which underly the procedures, and provides data on the consequences for individuals and the firm. It then explores the implications of the DEC experience for the broad human resource principles and actions which must underlie any effort to stabilize employment.
