Due to economic crisis, organizations all over the world are adopting a number of different
schemes to handle emerging problems. Downsizing or retrenchment of employees is
frequently used by organizations when they face hardships at the marketplace. Under these
circumstances, lack of commitment is the most crucial counter action which organizations
have to face. This study intends to examine the impact of downsizing on organizational
commitment and turnover intentions of surviving employees in the moderating role of social
support. The target audience for this study was four public and private sector organizations
located in Islamabad. The sample size consisted of 333 employees of upper and middle level
management which were selected through simple random sampling. The result shows that
downsizing is positively related to employee turnover intention and has significant negative
impact on employee commitment. However, social support as a moderator enhanced employee
commitment. This study will help the managers to comprehend when and how to apply
downsizing so as not to harm the employee’s commitment. The study will further assist
managers to implement downsizing and social support to achieve the objectives.
