Organizational Downsizing and Restructuring Job Satisfaction and Organizational Behavior Human Resource and Talent Management

Abstract

This study examines employees’ perceptions of organizational politics (POP), distributive justice of performance appraisal (PA), and validity of layoff decisions in a work setting where downsizing had recently been implemented: Egyptian hotels. A total of 400 employees filled out self-administrated questionnaires analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). Findings suggested that low distributive justice of PA mediated the negative relationship between OP and validity of layoff decisions. A negative direct relationship was found between OP and validity of layoff decisions. This study contributes to the discussion on whether OP has a positive or negative influence in terms of the validity of human resources (HR) decisions. Results offer managerial insights into the risks that HR decision-making processes are exposed to in an environment with high OP and a low distributive justice.
