This bustle is not only affected its employees at their workplace but also in their private lives. This study has been conducted in order to measure whether the organizations are successful in achieving their objectives of downsizing or not. This study has been conducted on banking sector of Pakistan. The banks, those that downsized during the last decade, are selected as a sample of the study. Pre-downsizing and post-downsizing financial data have been analyzed at two time spans.
