Abstract
There is a need for alternative theories to get a better understanding of human resource
management (HRM), in particular with regard to the shaping of the employment
relationship in organizations. This study examines how market, institutional and
configurational factors affect HRM in a global financial services company using the
strategic balance theory and Paauwe’s model. Interview data and document analysis
show the impact of critical incidents (e.g. a merger) and trends (e.g. a transition in
Dutch industrial relations) on HRM.
