| Abstract: | The aim of this study was to discover and better understand through a case study, the phenomenon of academic staff integration
in a post-merger Chinese university. The analysis was undertaken by using a cultural framework derived from relevant literature.
The results indicate that adjustments to academic values and beliefs, the cultural dimension, are crucial in the integration process. This study also identified factors, which could affect academic staff integration,
such as leadership, organisational objectives, regulations, geographic division, and cultural differences. Being aware of
these factors could provide university managers with useful guidelines on how to facilitate the integration of academic staff
members from different pre-merger institutions. |
