Journal Article
Group differences in post-merger stress
2001
Overview
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are popular business strategies and have been on the increase in recent years. The present study investigated post-merger stress in a sample of field sales employees from a recently merged organisation. A survey methodology was utilised to examine group differences, comparing those from the two pre-merger companies and those new to the merged organisation. Results revealed that group differences in both sources and effects of stress existed. Those from the dominant pre-merger company reported the highest stress levels and most negative work attitudes. Results were discussed in relation to previous research. It was concluded that group differences in response to large-scale organisational change are prevalent and the group context of the situation should be recognised and explored by managers in change situations.
