Report Abstract:

Job stressors (i.e., work-related conditions implicated in disease development) include job dissatisfaction, lack of job control, and under-utilization of abilities. Sudden job change through strike, retirement, layoff, relocation, or job loss may trigger these stressors. In this multisite project, five DOE sites (Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Nevada Test Site, Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant, and Pantex) were selected to study the effects of downsizing on organizational climate, worker health, and performance. Data gathering included interviews, workplace observations, employee discussion groups, an employee survey distributed to more than 10,500 employees, and a historical record review. For each downsizing organization, researcher identified opportunities to reduce job stress that could lead to improved employee health and organizational well-being. Suggested intervention strategies were proposed for further research.
