They are: (1) To examine the role which personnel management may play in a redundancy situation; (2) To ask if redundancy as a process can be justifiably conceived in psychological terms and investigated as such, and (3) To consider how the different stages of this process may be handled, from a social psychological point of view, and, further, what the effects of this may be on the remaining work force.
