Summary/Abstract: In the first section of this paper, we will make a short foray into the literature dedicated to human resources in the Covid-19 pandemic, especially human resources in the field of industry, commerce and services. The second section, also very condensed, is dedicated to the review of some concepts involved in the foundation of our qualitative research: esteem and self-image, interpersonal relationships, job satisfaction, social capital and human resource development. The methodology section lists the main topics covered by the research instrument – the interview guide: 1) personnel and work schedule restructuring in organizations in the economic field during the pandemic; 2) the impact of the pandemic at the level of relationships in health work groups/work teams; 3) cooperation, competition and conflict between employees; 4) the self-esteem and self-confidence of employees; 5) some aspects of employees' social capital (trust, tolerance, personal relationships outside work place); 6) human resource development activities (learning, development and training opportunities) and their form of organization. The presented results reveal the many common problems that the human resource in the economy faced during the pandemic, but also some aspects that differentiated the industrial, services and commercial sectors.
