Changes in Employee Attitudes after an Acquisition
研究了银行收购前后员工对工作特征、满意度和组织承诺的变化，发现收购后这些指标显著下降，并讨论了减少收购干扰的建议。
Information on job characteristics, facet satisfaction, overall satisfaction, and organizational commitment were obtained from bank employees both before the announcement of an acquisition (n = 108) and after the actual acquisition (n = 49). Correlational analysis and a repeated measures ANOVA indicated significant declines in perceived job characteristics, satisfaction, and organizational commitment after the acquisition. The nature of these changes is discussed along with recommendations for minimizing the disruptive effect of an acquisition.
