Research Abstract	We examined the influence of corporate merger on physical and mental status of employees both before and after merger in an actual case. Decrease of employee number was the most prominent in female employees of the absorbed factory. Among those who continued to work after the merger, life satisfaction in male employees of the merged factory temporarily decreased than those of the absorbed factory. The merger in this case was performed in the same community with no transfer of the employees. This we assumed that in such a merger, influence was more prominent in the male employees of the merged factory who were required management task than those of the absorbed factory.
