title = {Experience of the Employment Relationship after a Merger},
year = {2006},
note = {Mergers and acquisitions create many management challenges. The
development of a new employment relationship is one of the problems in
such a situation. This paper investigates the influence of previous
employment structures and the experience of previous employment
relationships on the psychological contract, job satisfaction, job
insecurity, and general health of employees in the context of a merged
higher education institution. Employees of two previously independent
universities that merged into one university completed a
questionnaire. The two former universities had a very different
history with very dissimilar employment relationships and experiences
among personnel. This history influenced the experience of the
employment relationship after the merger.},
