Modelling post‐acquisition employee behavior: typology and determining factors

Abstract

Understanding employee reactions to acquisitions is important in assessing the dynamics of acquisitions and their possible success or failure. Proposes a typology of employee behaviors in acquisitions. Moreover, describes the general framework for studying employee responses, by showing the relationship between the factors contributing to the formation of attitudes which can lead to a certain behavior. Finally, discusses directions for future research regarding human resource issues.
