Note: Of the 12 work conditions, only role ambiguity, work autonomy, and coworker aggression failed to act as a mediating variable in the associations of organizational downsizing to the employee outcomes. The plus and minus signs represent the direction of the indirect effect of organizational downsizing to a specific employee outcome (column 3) via a specific work condition (column 1).
