The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of employee empowerment, employee job satisfaction and employee engagement – on Intention to quiet among survivors of downsizing.

 Design/methodology/approach – The paper reports a quantitative study of 158 Middle level managers and employees in supervisory positions working in large multinational companies in Sudan.

Findings – Results suggest that employee empowerment, employee job satisfaction, employee engagement  are negatively  related to intention to quiet.

Originality/value – This study is one of the rare attempts to examine the influence of three HRM practices on intention to quiet. The study also contributes in terms of its context. With an increasing number of multinationals starting operations in Sudan, an understanding of employee motivation has become an important concern. It therefore, provides empirical data to support theoretical models for managing and mitigating survivors’ intent to quit among survivors of organizational restructuring and downsizing. The implications of these findings, which suggest crucial roles for empowerment and job satisfaction and employee engagement are discussed.

KEYWORDS Employee empowerment, Job satisfaction, Employee engagement, Intention to quiet, Sudan.
