Survivor Movement

In organizational contexts, a "survivor movement" refers to the process where employees or members adapt to ongoing changes, such as restructuring, layoffs, or policy shifts. These individuals often experience a shift in attitude—either becoming more committed and engaged or more cynical and disengaged—based on how well they perceive the change is managed and its impact on them. Essentially, it describes the dynamics of how individuals "survive" organizational changes emotionally and professionally, influencing overall workplace morale, productivity, and organizational culture.
