%X This study investigates the relation between the perceived status of an organization                after a takeover (i.e. post-merger status) on employees’ identification                with this new organization (i.e. their post-merger identification). Respondents were                234 employees of a corrugated board producing company, which had taken over a                smaller company eight months before. As hypothesized, post-merger status was                positively related to organizational identification among employees of the                lower-status pre-merger company, but they were not related among employees of the                higher-status company. Also in line with the expectations, post-merger status was                positively related to organizational identification among employees who had                identified weakly with their pre-merger group, but not among employees who had                identified strongly with their pre-merger group.
