A merger is a partial or total combination of two separate business firms and forming of a new one. There are predominantly two kinds of mergers: partial and complete. Partial merger usually involves the combination of joint ventures and inter-corporate stock purchases. Complete mergers are results in blending of identities and the creation of a single succeeding firm. (Hicks, 2012, p 491). Mergers in the healthcare sector, particularly horizontal hospital mergers wherein two or more hospitals merge into a single corporation, are increasing both in frequency and importance. (Gaughan, 2002). This paper is an attempt to study the impact of the merger of two competing healthcare organization and will also attempt to propose appropriate clinical and managerial interventions.

Firstly, the need for achievement is met by understanding that people strive to master difficult situations, endeavors or challenges. This idea works on both an organizational level, as well as an individual level. From an organizational level, it is well known that a merger of this magnitude had never been attempted. With that brings a great challenge to succeed, and lets the leadership work in new and innovative ways to make such a merger successful. McClelland’s theory states, in regards to need for achievement, that people strive “To excel one’s self…to rival and surpass others… to increase self-regard by the successful exercise of talent” (Kreitner & Kinicki, 2010, p. 215). By this definition, the merger would motivate leadership to excel in the face of a challenge, and to increase their professional self-regard in their success in doing so. On an individual level, you are asking the performers and employees to recognize both economic and social climates, and to come together in action to save both their careers, as well as their passion in life. Such a merger would only embolden self-worth and perceived achievement, because they would be part of a much larger organization more adverse to risk and future change, and they would easily be able to look at other similar organizations and realize they were part of an organization who accomplished something never before attempted.
