There has been a dramatic increment in the pace of change over the last few years. The satisfaction of the employee is the first priority of HRM whereas the company’s annual productivity holds the secondary importance due to which this department is criticized. Since change management has no definite starts and ends, the organization faces the multifaceted challenges during the times of merger. The study intends to identify the employees’ attitude during the times of proposed merger. The constructs to measure employees’ attitude include: job satisfaction, uncertainty, commitment as independent variables and whereas change readiness was measured as dependent variable. The study is based on primary data constituted of a questionnaire. 5-point Likert scale is used to measure the perception of all employees who are considered applicable for a merger. To analyze the data, SPSS software has been used. Reliability and correlation tests are conducted before finding the impact of employees attitude on change readiness. A regression test is performed to find the effect of a merger on change readiness. The results reveal that uncertainty is statistically found to be insignificant with change readiness which indicates that employees are not fearful of being uncertain about changes happening due to merger. However, Job satisfaction and commitment has a positive significant impact on change readiness. The study is very useful for an organization while they are strategically planning for mergers and acquisition. The study is confined to employees’ perspectives of banking sectors. Leadership perspective may have further insights for strategic direction for organization.
