EFFECTS OF PROCEDURAL JUSTICE ON EMPLOYEES’ JOB SATISFACTION AND NEW IDENTIFICATION AFTER MERGER AND NEW IDENTIFICATION’S MEDIATING ROLE IN THIS RELATIONSHIP.

Abstract

The aim is to investigate effects of procedural justice on job satisfaction and new identification after merger and to investigate the mediatory role of new identification on this relationship. Methodology -   Research participants of whom experienced the merger were reached by convenient sampling after the bank merger (N=143). The reliability, validity, normality, correlation and bootstrap analysis were used. Research findings show that procedural justice effects job satisfaction and new identification after the merger significantly and positively. However there is no mediation effect of the new identification after bank merger on this relationship. The findings show that for success in mergers the management must understand the importance of employees’ job satisfaction and must evaluate the factors effecting job satisfaction with scientific methods.
