“…The selected Nepalese commercial banks observed growth in net profit as well as asset size after the merger. However, Miko (2010), Pathak (2016), and Khan et al (2017) did not find a significant effect of the merger on ROA. It was established from this study that there is no significant difference in pre-and post-merger ROE, which is in accordance with the results of Nanda (2016), Dwa and Shah (2017), and Dewi and Mustanda ( 2021), but Fatima and Shehzad (2014) and Bipin et al (2018) found contradicting evidence.…”

Purpose: This study attempts to examine the effect of merger on the financial performance of Nepalese commercial banks. Methodology: This paper employs a descriptive and causal comparative research design to examine the financial performance of commercial banks involved in six merger deals as of mid-July 2022, with a sample of four merger deals completed before mid-July 2018. Mean, standard deviation, paired sample t-test, Pearson correlation, regression analysis, and the VIF test, are utilized for data analysis. Financial performance is evaluated using nine key ratios (EPS, NWPS, P/E ratio, CD ratio, CAR, NPL ratio, ROA, ROE, and NPM). Secondary data covering six years (2010 to 2019), excluding the specific merging year, are analyzed. Findings: The analysis of pre- and post-merger financial performance in the sample commercial banks revealed statistically significant differences in EPS, NWPS, ROA, and NPM. Positive correlations were observed between the pre- and post-merger periods for EPS, NWPS, CD ratio, CAR, NPL ratio, ROA, ROE, and NPM, excluding the P/E ratio. The merger proved beneficial for Nepalese commercial banks, leading to improved profitability in terms of EPS, ROA, and NPM in the post-merger phase. However, factors like CD ratio, CAR, and NPL ratio, regulated by the NRB, showed no significant changes post-merger. Although banks experienced increased P/E ratio and ROE, the impact was deemed insignificant. Notably, CAR had the most significant impact on both pre- and post-merger ROA. Implication: The results derived from the study are relevant to managers for future merger decisions and can be used for the selection of a suitable partner for future merger activities. Value: It contributes to a better understanding of the overall merger scenario in Nepalese banking sector, as well as the relationship between certain restrictions and merger.

The study aimed to detect the relationship between the implementation of hospital privatization in Saudi Arabia and healthcare workers' perceptions regarding work conditions, the level of participation in decision-making, and the relationship between the privatized organization and the HRSD Ministry. The data was collected from 100 healthcare workers in various hospitals across Saudi Arabia. More than half of the healthcare workers believed privatizing the healthcare sector would hurt employment security and increase the workload and hours worked per week, whether the employees have permanent or temporary contracts.However, the workers have a positive perception of work conditions related to progression, teamwork support, the level of training, incentives, and other benefits. The employees also positively perceive the level of participation in decision-making, including training requirements and how assigned tasks are completed. Healthcare workers with fewer years of experience are more optimistic about privatization. Moreover, although the regulations left the authority to determine the appropriate privatization strategy for each governmental organization based on their specific needs and objectives, employees positively perceive the relationship between the privatized organization and the HRSD Ministry.
