- Abstract
Goal: This study was aimed at analyzing the experiences of some workers in the Colombian financial sector regarding the mergers and acquisitions processes in this sector from the 1990s until 2010. Method: Empirical research with a qualitative approach was carried out, wherein a semi-structured interview was carried out with 22 participants who had experienced and participated in mergers and acquisitions processes at the banks Grupo Bancolombia and Grupo Aval. Results and discussions: The implementation of new productivity measurement systems; technological changes, consequent changes in employee-client relationships, and provision of constant trainings to match the ever-evolving demand; and transformations in relationships, locations, and work schedules resulted in greater pressure, as observed in the research findings. Results are discussed on the basis of the labor-force approach, and evidence is provided for these processes resulting in new experiences regarding clients and user management. Conclusions: The mergers and acquisitions processes shape the careers of workers because they influence their identities, socio-affective ties, and their job responsibilities, and they frame the conflicts and historical moments deriving from them.
