Abstract
This empirical study set in a large multinational pharmaceutical company analyses three effects of repeat downsizing on commitment based on Moore and colleagues' research (2004; 2006). Results confirm a legacy effect whereby previous exposure to downsizing continues to influence commitment years after the initial exposure and a recency effect given by a greater negative effect of recent downsizing events compared to previous downsizing. A sensitisation effect was observed only among employees with a double direct exposure to the same downsizing method.
