Scope of Justice in the Workplace: How Survivors React to Co-Worker Layoffs.

Brockner, Joel

Journal of Social Issues, v46 n1 p95-106 Spr 1990

Explores the effects of layoffs on work behavior and attitude of employees not laid off. Study results indicate that survivors become more withdrawn from their jobs if they believe management handled the layoff unfairly, and these tendencies are more evident if layoff victims were included in survivors' scope of justice.
