TL;DR: In this article, a causal model of effects on survivors was developed and then tested with data collected in a large, midwestern insurance company that implemented two workforce reductions, and the hypothesized model was inconsistent with the data and subsequently was rejected.

TL;DR: In this article, a study of a national insurance company examines employees' information-seeking behaviors prior to and following a permanent reduction in force (RIF) and finds that an RIF increases survivors' information deprivation and job insecurity and is associated with the increased use of certain information seeking strategies and the decreased use of others.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined conditions leading to employee perceptions of their ability to negotiate their roles and the outcomes of this perception.
