| Abstract: | The results of the study described in the article represent an important step in understanding the negative effects of merger /and acquisitions/ on a firm's human resources, as well as the beginning of an understanding of how to ameliorate those effects. The impact of a realistic merger preview, a program of realistic communications, on employees of an organization that has just announced merger was investigated. Employees in one plant received the preview and those in another received limited information. Results based on four collections of data indicated that the review reduced dysfunctional outcomes of the merger. |
