Identification and Job Satisfaction at Mergers and Acquisitions

Ralf Bebenroth

Chapter 13 in International Business Mergers and Acquisitions in Japan, 2015, pp 187-201 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter sheds light on Japanese target firm employees’ perceptions after being taken over by a German firm. Specifically, it was tested how target firm employees’ perception of procedural justice and their cultural openness influence two variables: job satisfaction and organizational identification. It is found that the perceived procedural justice leads to a higher level of job satisfaction and to a better organizational identification. Fair treatment matters more for the satisfaction of employee’s with a higher cultural openness. Implications and future research directions are discussed.
