| Abstract: | A survey of personnel directors in manufacturing firms to capture organizational policies and assess perceptions and attitudes regarding downsizing is presented. Seniority is cited as the overwhelming criterion to determine lay-offs. Attention is called to nonunion firms considering performance more significantly than unionized firms in determining lay-offs. That few alternatives were considered is explained by the fact that 94 p.c. of human resource managers had less than two months to plan and implement the downsizing. Implications for white collar employees, prescriptions for human resource practice and future research are discussed. |
