Description

Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Arts,
University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg,
in partial fulfilment for the degree of Master of Arts
(Industrial Psychology)
Johannesburg 1995 / The present research investigates the experience of involuntary
job loss in a sample of white-collar workers. In addition,
their perceptions of', and attitudes towards a preventive
intervention, namely, outplacement, is explored. A review of
the current literature on job loss and secondary formal
interventions is discussed, which provides the basis for the
present study. Findings support previous research, in addition
to raising certain issues and providing suggestions which
result in an expansion of present knowledge with regard to
Outplacement. / MT2017
