Abstract | In this chapter, we discuss empirical findings of a longitudinal, multi-level quantitative study of three large tertiary education organizations during a merger. Our findings illustrate the importance of understanding the values of individuals who comprise each organization, the culture of the organizations involved, and how these variables interact during a merger process. We focus in particular on the extent and direction of change to individual values and organizational culture during the acculturation process that occurs post-merger, and especially the impact on individuals when they perceive dissonance between their personal values and the direction of changes they perceive in post-merger organizational culture. Four methods of acculturation are investigated with results indicating that the method of acculturation which occurred between merging parties depended on the approach taken to manage the merger i.e. immediate, incremental, indifferent – with consequent outcomes for both individual values and organizational cultures. |
