Abstract
The aim of this study is to understand the role of social identity theory, organizational justice theory and job characteristics theory in a bank merger. The regression analysis revealed that the social identity theory, organizational justice theory and job characteristics theory are potential predictors for job satisfaction of bank employees. Empirical evidences found in the present study that post merger employees’ perception towards their identity, justice and job characteristics affects their satisfaction level. This study is a modest attempt to explore the post merger phenomena pertaining to human resource– related issues. This study is useful for policymakers, academicians, and researchers for testing the theories in a different context.
