In this context, this study examines if, in case of a major dissatisfying organizational incident, employees' prior overall view of their employment relationship changes their perception of current employment relationship's quality. Specifically, it is expected that job satisfaction, perceived organizational support (POS), organizational identification, and organizational loyalty cause significant differences among employees, with regards to their beliefs about contract breach after a major organizational change.

Abstract

Overall employee satisfaction may be used as a referral point when trying to understand or explain a dissatisfying incident. In this context, this study examines if, in case of a major dissatisfying organizational incident, employees' prior overall view of their employment relationship changes their perception of current employment relationship's quality. Specifically, it is expected that job satisfaction, perceived organizational support (POS), organizational identification, and organizational loyalty cause significant differences among employees, with regards to their beliefs about contract breach after a major organizational change. The study took place in Greece, where organizations that had recently gone through a merger or acquisition (MorA) were asked to allow employee participation in the study. Independent t-tests confirmed most of the hypotheses stated.
