Abstract: Studies in human resource management (HRM) field require for more focus on employees related objectives. A recommended way to answer this request is to focus on employees’ well-being at work. The relation between HRM and well-being at work started to be recently analysed in this new shape, even though some other forms started to be researched more than 25 years ago. However the focus was on quantitative analysis, while the contextual, qualitative research was somehow neglected (with respect to those studies that approached this matter). This paper aims at covering this gap and exploring the HRM-well-being at work relation considering contextual factors that may influence this link. Among the contextual factors considered are human resource (HR) principles, HR function position and role into the organisation on one side (internal factors) and external factors like labour market, business competition, economic factors, on the other side. A mixed-method research (qual. −> Quant, sequential design) was conducted into one national, 100% Romanian capital organisation, in order to find out which HR interventions can raise the work related well-being. The findings support the need for taking into consideration the contextual approach, as the qualitative research may bring the answer to the well-known ‘why’ question.
