Summary:The current trends in organizational downsizing may be causing the involuntary loss of high-performing, middle-level managers.

Lower- and middle-level managers place greatest importance on lack of control and input on the job, while upper-lever managers see dissatisfaction with rewards and interpersonal conflicts as the critical causes of middle manager turnover.
