Abstract

The role of people identity in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) performance is investigated through an interdisciplinary and multi-level approach. Identity and the relationships among human resource variables, such as the behavior of top managers and employees from both companies in M&A, are explored to explain the inconsistencies of findings about M&A performance. It is proposed that identity has direct, and moderate, effects on both sides, especially on acquired managers’ attitudes and behaviors, thereby influencing post-merger integration success. The paper presents a theoretical framework and related propositions that help to foster future research directions and advance practical implications of this scholarly research for practitioners.
