Abstract
The current study developed and tested a model of the emergence of the attitudes towards organizationalchange and turnover intentions in the context of a foreign acquisition. Based on a sample of 172 employees surveyedfrom the acquired organization a fully mediated and a partially mediated model were compared with thesecond providing the best fit to the data. Job pressure and communication were revealed as antecedents of bothprocedural justice and trust in management. Occupational stress had a direct influence on attitudes towards acquisitionand turnover intentions, while communication influenced those variables indirectly, via the level of trust.An important issue exposed by the model was the importance of the level of trust in management of organizations.Employees need to feel that the organization is preoccupied by themselves and their interests. Thebehaviour of the management significantly influences employees’ perception of the organization that is why companiesshould pay attention to the way they communicate and implement the changes in the context of acquisitions.The relationships in the model additionally prove that the psychological aspects play a major role in theintegration process, by their significant impact on the general attitudes towards change and their consequences onorganizational behaviour.
