Abstract

Merger and Acquisition is a strategic decision that organizations take to achieve growth and sustainability. Strategic moves like these create unavoidable challenges and develop an intense amount of stress on the employees, which could further lead to negative human resource problems and may fail the whole activity. Thus, it is extremely necessary to identify the different types of stress caused by such strategic moves to address the reasons properly and reduce the stress levels of the employees. The present study identifies and elaborates on different types of stress in the organization which is caused by merger and acquisition activities. The Indian banking industry has recently been subjected to significant mergers and the process has created elements of stress among the working population. The context of the study also focuses on the elements of stress caused by mergers and acquisitions in the banking industry. The study critically examines the studies of previous researchers in this context. Through a systematic review of the literature, the study focuses on unbolting future research avenues in the context of identification of the elements of stress caused by merger and acquisition activities in the banking sector.
