Abstract
It is evident that different kinds of restructuring activities are part of modern work life, and most employees will face restructuring at some point during their working life. This chapter gives an overview of the effect of restructuring on the well-being of employees and presents the main principles of a sound organizational change process that would ensure employee's health and well-being during restructuring. It sheds light on what in practice could be done during the change process in organizations. The views expressed in the chapter are based on the findings of a research project called as the Psychological health and well-being in restructuring: key effects and mechanisms (PSYRES), in which both quantitative and qualitative data from Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, and Poland were utilized, and on other research studies carried out in the field of restructuring. © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
