The purpose of this study is to examine the mediating effect of job burnout in the relationship between the psychological contract violation and organizational cynicism of the merged corporate flight attendants after the announcement of the airline M&A. Since M&A causes considerable anxiety and fear in the future of the merged members, we would like to present a human resource management plan for successful M&A by reviewing the impact of negative psychological factors on the company.
