초록

인수합병 후 통합(post-merger integration; PMI)이 M&A 성공에 있어 매우 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 PMI에 대한 선행 연구들을 바탕으로 PMI 과정에서 피인수기업 구성원에 대한 의사소통과 '인식된 불확실성 감소', '조직만족도' 그리고 '조직신뢰' 간의 관계를 살펴보고 인수기업과 피인수기업 간의 '사업영역의 일치도'의 조절 효과를 중심으로 조사하고자 한다. 본 연구는 연구목적을 달성하기 위하여 각 변수 간의 관계에 대한 가설을 설정하고 실증분석을 진행하였다. 자료는 중국 내에 인수 기업에서 근무하는 피인수기업의 구성원을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 최종 317개 설문지를 수집하였고 실증분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 의사소통은 피인수기업 구성원들이 인식한 불확실성 감소, 직무만족도 그리고 조직신뢰에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다는 것과 인수기업과 피인수기업 간의 사업영역의 일치도는 의사소통과 '인식된 불확실성' 간의 관계를 약화시킨다는 것을 확인하였다. 의사소통과 직무만족도 및 조직신뢰 간의 긍정적인 관계에서 조절변수가 강화시키는 효과가 확인되지 않고, 오히려 약화시키는 조절효과를 밝혀냈다. 이러한 연구 결과를 토대로 본 연구는 PMI 과정에서 피인수기업 구성원들과의 의사소통 전략은 통합의 성패에 의미를 가지며, M&A 유형에 따른 차별화된 인적자원관리 방안에 대한 제시와 같은 실무적인 시사점을 제시하였다.

Post-merger integration(PMI) plays a very important role in the success of M&A. Therefore, based on previous studies on PMI, this study discusses the relationship between communication of acquired enterprise members and uncertainty reduction, organizational satisfaction, organizational trust in the PMI process, focusing on the moderating effect of business area consistency between the acquisition and the acquired company. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, the hypothesis of the relationship between variables was established and an empirical analysis was conducted. In order to collect data, a survey was conducted on members of the acquired company in China, and 317 questionnaires were finally collected and used for empirical analysis. For the collected data, the research hypothesis was verified using SPSS 26.0. The results of the study confirmed that communication has a positive effect on the reduction of uncertainty, job satisfaction, and organizational trust perceived by members of the acquired company, and that the consistency in business areas between the acquisition and the acquired company weakens the relationship between communication and uncertainty. In the positive relationship between communication and job satisfaction, organizational trust, the effect of strengthening the moderating variable has not been confirmed, but rather the weakening control effect was found. Based on these findings, the strategy of communicating with the members of the acquired company in the PMI process is meaningful for the success or failure of the merger and provides theoretical and practical implications for proposing differentiated human resources management measures according to M&A type.
