Abstract

This research article aims to compare the effects of mergers involving public and private banks on the mental well-being of employees. Specifically, the study will examine the influence on stress levels, job stability, and changes in work responsibilities. The study will explore the differences in stress levels, stability, and transitions experienced by personnel in public and private sector banks following mergers. By using a comparative method, the research intends to reveal the subtle impacts of these mergers on the psychological well-being of personnel in both industries. To conduct a thorough investigation of the psychological impacts associated with mergers between public and private banks, this study will use established literature, empirical data, and case studies. The system will assess stress levels, employment stability, and changes in work dynamics to identify the distinct problems and opportunities presented by mergers in different sectors. The comparative analysis will explore the specific factors that cause stress and the strategies used to deal with them in mergers involving public and private banks. Additionally, it will examine the consequences of these mental health impacts on the welfare of employees, their productivity, and the dynamics inside organizations in both sectors.The conclusions of this research article aim to offer significant insights for policymakers, human resource professionals, and organizational leaders involved in public and private bank mergers. By understanding the varying effects of these mergers on mental well-being, those involved can formulate specific approaches to alleviate stress, improve stability, and promote seamless transitions during the post-merger integration phase. Overall, this study enhances our understanding of the impact of bank mergers on mental health, emphasizing the need to adopt industry-specific strategies to tackle the difficulties brought about by these transformative events.
