Mergers and acquisitions are critical mechanisms for promoting the stable and effective production of the financial sector, and an effort to improve the strategic edge of financial institutions. M&A process also entails a high degree of confusion, which can be difficult for the workers. This study was conducted in the Philippines to examine the differences in the employees’ opinion in managerial communication, managerial support, and organizational culture difference relative to employee turnover. It also seeks to determine if the socio-demographic profile of respondents has a significant influence on turnover intention. The sample in this study is determined using a purposive sampling method. A total of 350 questionnaires are complete and feasible to analyze where 250 respondents belong to Bank A, and 100 respondents belong to Bank B. Using Levene-Welch post-hoc multiple comparison and binary logit regression with bootstrap, the findings revealed that managerial communication, managerial support, and organizational culture were associated with turnover intention. Further, the findings revealed that turnover intention differs per demographic profile. Therefore, management is to develop a post-merger integration plan, ensuring to attain competitive advantage and successful mergers and acquisitions.
