Using a descriptive and analytical research design, data was collected from 384 banking staff across six banks involved in recent M&As through surveys and interviews. Employee Motivation, Recognition, and Pay/Remuneration significantly enhance job satisfaction, while Organizational Climate negatively affects it. Organizational Change also plays a crucial role in satisfaction, highlighting the importance of effective management during M&As. The regression analysis reveals that factors such as pay and motivation are the strongest predictors of satisfaction, with the model explaining 91% of the variance. The study concludes that successful management of change, competitive pay, and employee recognition are essential for maintaining satisfaction post-merger, providing valuable insights for banks navigating M&As.en-USThesis
