| Tiivistelmä: | This paper examines the role of a sense of continuity for organizational (here as: org-al.) identification (as: ident-n.) after an org-al. merger. It is argued that mergers and acquisitions (M&As) often end in failures partly because the change is designed in discontinuous ways and employees do not feel they are doing the same job after the merger. In-depth interviews were conducted in a recently merged German industrial company. Based on these qualitative data, it is demonstrated how features of the post-merger company structure and the way it was implemented may have eroded org-al. ident-n. Finally, proposed is a parsimonious model to be tested by future research. |
