A Study of HR Practices and Cultural Adaptability of Employees during Mergers and Acquisitions Minor 2023 Cultural adaptability of employees is very crucial for successful cross-border M&A integration, where divergent organizational cultures must merge seamlessly (Rottig et al., 2013). However, the literature lacks a comprehensive framework for effectively managing cultural issues during M&As, leaving organizations vulnerable to integration pitfalls (Rottig et al., 2014). The concept of cultural adaptability encompasses the capacity of organizations to understand, manage, and integrate diverse cultural elements, ensuring successful team performance and organizational cohesion (Sutton et al., 2006; Fantaguzzi & Handscomb, 2024). Successful cultural adaptability involves aligning values, communication styles, and work practices to facilitate a smooth integration process (Luckner, 2016). To address RQ1, we can conclude that HR practices, such as cross-cultural training, flexibility, support, communication, and job autonomy, play a crucial role in enhancing employees' cultural adaptability during M&As (Mandal, 2024; Borderlesshr, 2024). Training programs focus on educating employees about cultural backgrounds, values, and communication styles, fostering collaboration and respect (Rober, 2024). Job autonomy promotes adaptability by empowering individuals, fostering creativity, and instilling ownership amidst cultural changes (Villalobos et al., 2020). Effective HR communication reduces stress, promotes shared vision, and enhances employees' awareness of cultural diversity, thereby improving cultural adaptability (Vasilaki et al., 2016). Additionally, HR flexibility and support, through personalized training programs and culture-sensitive practices, encourage openness and trust, facilitating employees' embrace of the post-merged entity's culture (TigiHR, 2023; McCarthy, 2020). To address RQ2, our study identified significant predictor variables for cultural adaptability as Training, Communication, and HR flexibility and support. The model results support HA1 and HA3 by highlighting the significance of predictors related to training and communication on cultural adaptability. HA4 is partially supported, indicating a significant but lesser role for HR flexibility and support. HA2 cannot be confirmed or denied based on the available data since job autonomy was not explicitly identified as a significant predictor. Therefore, our study contributes to the academic literature by highlighting that cultural adaptability is not solely an individual characteristic but rather a skill that can be nurtured and developed by HR through the implementation of best practices. 31-08-2023 To 29-02-2024 (5 months, 29 days)
