此論文的研究背景環繞於2008年世界經濟危機以及其後續地組織精簡狂潮。研究時限涵蓋2008年8月至2009年7月。研究結果會針對組織關懷因素、存留員工之情感性承諾與組織正義氣候之間的相關性進行探討；其中組織關懷由將八個遣散措施分成兩個變項而得。研究樣本由25家公司以及332位員工所組成，這些企業皆曾於近一年內進行過組織精簡。研究結果顯示只有對生存員工有直接影響地遣散措施會影響對他們的組織承諾，並呈現負面相關。此外，我們發現程序與互動組織正義氣候會正面地影響員工的情感性承諾，分配性組織正義則否。

This study based its background on economic downturn and the following waves of organization downsizing, dating from August, 2008 to July, 2009. The research result presented the interplay between these organization care factors, by grouping eight layoff practices into two factors, with affective commitment and organization justice climate. Data were collected from 25 companies in Taiwan with labor-reduction experience during research timeframe and 332 employees in total. The finding indicated only those layoff practices, with direct impact on layoff survivors, are linked, though negatively, to affective commitment of remaining workers. Further, we found that procedural justice organization climate and interactional justice organization climate positively influence affective commitment; distributive justice organization climate does not.
