Abstract

The study complements the extant literature by using a process tracing technique to assess how theoretical and textual insights into employee adjustments and wellbeing in the period of the Covid-19 pandemic withstand analytical scrutiny within the frameworks human resource management (HRM) and more contemporary literature. The Covid-19 pandemic poses a challenge to, as well as an opportunity for organizations to find novel solutions to the concerns resulting from the management of their human resources. This study provides contemporary evidence on several suggested frameworks for future research by Carnevale and Hatak (2020, JBR). The perspectives are discussed in terms HRM opportunities and challenges in the light of erosion of fit, constraining work-family impacts and disproportionate effects on alternative structures of the family on the one hand and on the other, on insights into entrepreneurship.
