Resources Available To Managers To Manage Employees Through Mergers
Journal Title: International Journal of Business and Management Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 10
Abstract
The purpose of this phenomenological, descriptive study was to explore resources managers perceive to have available to assist with managing employees through a merger. Researchers have documented that managers are burdened with extra responsibilities that result in poor people management during a merger process. Greenleaf’s servant leadership and Herzberg’s two factor theories were used to explore managers’ perceptions of the range of resources available to assist with managing employees during a merger. The key findings were that while managers perceived they were not provided resources, managers’ personal experiences along with resources such as human resource personnel and other managers’ expertise were used as great resources. Open communication and information exchange were critical between the manager and the employees during the merger. The findings indicate that managers should focus on their soft skills to manage employees through the merger process.
