Cognitive schemas influence perception and behaviour and serve as ... powerful sense-making frameworks. In-depth interviews with 16 CEOs, HR executives and trade unionists from the production and service sectors and analyses of annual reports were conducted to find the content of their HRM schemas. In addition, a comparison between schemas from companies from both sectors was made. Results reveal that HRM schemas in companies from the financial sector include more 'HRM is bureaucratic' attributes whereas in companies from the automotive sector 'HRM is strategic' attributes prevail. In companies' annual reports, the socially responsible role of HRM toward employees is only moderately present. While the crisis in 1990s was an influential factor for the sense-making and Žflexibility is crucialʼ attribution in companies in the automotive sector, the current HRM schema in selected companies from the financial sector was influenced by the occurrence of conjuncture.
