Employees of merging organizations often show resistance to the merger. The employees' support depends on the companies' premerger status and on the merger pattern. Based on an intergroup perspective, three studies were conducted to investigate the influence of premerger status (high, low) and merger pattern (assimilation, integration - equality, integration - proportionality, transformation) on participants' support for a pending organizational merger. Students (Study 1) and employees (Study 2) had to take the perspective of employees of a fictitious merging organization. Study 3 investigated students' perceptions of a potentially pending university merger using a 2 (status) 3 (merger pattern : assimilation, integration - equality, integration proportionality) design. Across all studies, the low - status group favored integration - equality and transformation whereas the high - status group preferred integration - proportionality and assimilation. Perceived threat mediated the effects. Legitimacy was a stronger mediator for effects of the low - status group.
