Comparison in employee attitudes by gender and payroll cost reduction method (study 1)

Employee Attitude	Gender
Employee Attitude	Male¹	Female²
Affective commitment	Pay-reduced employees <Survivors of downsizing	Pay-reduced employees >Survivors of downsizing
Affective commitment	Coefficient of pay cut (vs downsizing) = −0.086† (SE = 0.050, p = 0.085)	Coefficient of pay cut (vs downsizing) = 0.043 (SE = 0.044 p = 0.323)
Job satisfaction	Pay-reduced employees < Survivors of downsizing	Pay-reduced employees > Survivors of downsizing
Job satisfaction	Coefficient of pay cut (vs downsizing) = −0.188**³ (SE = 0.061 p = 0.002)	Coefficient of pay cut (vs downsizing) = 0.027 (SE = 0.053, p = 0.606)
N	1,066	1,073

Note(s): **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05, †p < 0.10

All the control variables were entered in this comparison model

¹For estimating the outcomes of males, the coefficients of ‘Pay cut’ in Models A3 and B3 of Table 2 are examined

²For estimating the outcomes of females, separate regression analyses with the females (instead of males) as the base for comparison were conducted

³This indicates that for males, the job satisfaction of employees who survived downsizing was higher than that of employees whose pay was cut by 0.188 points
