Abstract: The viability of public insurance organisations in Greece was an issue that significantly concerned all researchers, the vast majority of whom ended up consolidating the organisations as the most effective solution. For this reason, the purpose of this work is, on one hand, the measurement of the efficiency of the employees before and after the consolidation of the public insurance organisations in Greece, and on the other hand, the reflection of the degree of their agreement in its individual dimensions. From the results that emerged, it is found that the employees of the new united created organisation called E.F.K.A., agree that before the unification they served citizens efficiently and that they worked with less stress, in contrast to the unification, which does not seem to be a measure to stimulate the competitiveness-viability of the organisations as it has negatively affected their own efficiency compared to the previous period.

Keywords: sustainability; insurance organisations; employee efficiency.
