ABSTRACT. The current study develops and tests a comprehensive, structural model of the relationship among layoff survivors’ perceptions, psychological states, attitudes, and intentions. Our sample consisted of accountants/analysts who had survived recent workforce reductions at a large, U. S. aircraft manufacturer, in the wake of reduced demand following 9/11. The results of our structural equation models indicate that accounting survivors’ perceptions of procedural and interactional organizational justice affected their post-layoff stress and job insecurity, which in turn directly and indirectly influenced job satisfaction, affective commitment, and turnover intentions.
