Abstract: Mergers and acquisitions have become an increasingly common reality of organizational life. It seems that almost daily one hears of corporations - some willingly, some not - involved in such transformation as part of strategy designed to achieve corporate growth, economies of scale, vertical integration, diversification, and even provision of capital for future leveraged buyouts. From a human resource point of view, merger and acquisitions are corporate events that have the potential to create severe personal trauma and stress which can result in psychological, behavioral, health, performance and survival problems for both the individuals and companies involved.
