Most research on organizational changes in working life, including downsizing, focuses on the negative attitudes and negative consequences of the change. The aim of this study was to evaluate if the employee's previous learning experience and characteristics of the working environment were associated with positive attitudes towards organizational change. The 467 employees (73.5% males) working in a global oil company in the early phases of a downsizing process were asked to answer a questionnaire with demographic variables, perception of the working environment, and attitude to change (93% response rate). Corporate social responsibility (CSR), involvement and participation, team leadership and team effectiveness were important factors related to positive attitudes towards organizational change. Non-leaders and older employees were positive to change. We conclude that employees' perceptions of their psychosocial working environment, in particular the CSR, were highly related to their attitude to organizational change.
大多数关于工作生活中组织变革（包括裁员）的研究都聚焦于变革的负面态度和负面后果。本研究的目的是评估员工以前的学习经历和工作环境特征是否与对组织变革的积极态度相关。在一家全球石油公司裁员初期工作的467名员工（73.5%为男性）被要求回答一份包含人口统计学变量、工作环境感知和变革态度的问卷（回复率为93%）。企业社会责任（CSR）、参与度和参与情况、团队领导力和团队效能是与对组织变革的积极态度相关的重要因素。非领导者和年长员工对变革持积极态度。我们得出结论，员工对其心理社会工作环境的认知，尤其是企业社会责任，与他们对组织变革的态度高度相关。
