Thesis (M.Sc.)--University of Toronto (Canada), 1999.

Current attempts to target the older worker during company downsizing campaigns have brought to the fore issues concerning how this group may be uniquely affected by the stresses associated with the uncertainty of organizational retrenchment. Study objectives. The objectives of the present study were: (1) to explore contextual features of the downsized workplace and how these are perceived by older workers targeted by the early retirement incentive program (ERIP), and (2) to determine both the type and extent of differences in employer-directed attitudes related to use of the ERIP as a downsizing mechanism. Research design. Secondary survey data derived from the University of Toronto's Issues of an Aging Workforce (IAW) Project were used to examine the comparative perspectives of employees of two large North American financial service institutions. One of the companies had undergone a series of downsizings using the ERIP, while its counterpart had managed to keep its workers relatively insulated from the threat of layoff. Employees at each company were compared on four dimensions of commitment to the 'implicit career contract', a conception based on the unique life histories of older workers.
