(Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya Sri Lanka, 2022) Erandika, M. D. K.; Ranasinghe, V. R.
Sri Lanka is currently experiencing its worst financial crisis in decades. The building construction industry can be cited as one of the leading industries affected by this situation in Sri Lanka. This study aimed to examine whether employees' perception of organizational downsizing impacts their commitment. This was carried out as a cross-sectional field study among a sample of 204 employees in three already downsized construction firms in the Colombo District, Sri Lanka. Simple random sampling was applied to select the sample. Data were collected via distributing an online standard questionnaire. Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) was used to analyze the data. Descriptive statistics, correlation and simple regression, were performed to analyze data. When analyzing data, the researcher identified that employees’ perceptions of their organization’s downsizing practices have a significant positive effect on their level of commitment. Moreover, the researcher found a significant positive impact of employees’ perception of downsizing on employees’ affective, continuance, and normative commitment. Maintaining effective communication before, during and after the downsizing process is recommended.

Sri Lanka is presently facing with its most severe financial crisis in decades, with the building and construction sector being significantly affected. This study aims to investigate whether employees’ perceptions of organizational downsizing practices influence their commitment. It was conducted as a cross-sectional study among a sample of 204 employees from three downsized construction firms in the Colombo District. The sample was selected using a simple random sampling technique, and data were collected through the distribution of an online standard questionnaire. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 23.0, employing descriptive statistics, correlation, and simple regression. The analysis revealed that employees’ perceptions of their organizations’ downsizing practices have a significant positive impact on their levels of affective, continuance, and normative commitment. Effective communication throughout the downsizing process, including before, during, and after, is recommended as a means to mitigate the adverse effects of downsizing on employee commitment.
