Abstract

Knowledge has become a key driver in the contemporary economy, and economic growth through knowledge is constantly at the center of attention concerning specialists, business people, political decision-makers, and individuals in general. The creation and distribution of knowledge, technologies, and new products are components of human activity, through which companies can develop in an environment that is subject to strong challenges and shocks, in a dynamic, global, competitive, but also very uneven economy. The research involves the development of a study that helps to better understand the forms of work organization through workplace innovation and their effects on economic and social performance at European level, thus suggesting a range of intervention directions and activities to support the overall goal of raising living standards. The implications assessment and influences of work organization on innovation performance (European Commission, 2017) was carried out at national level using EWCS survey data for the years 2005, 2010 and 2015 and the impact measures of innovation were considered in terms of employment in knowledge-intensive activities. The estimated results highlight the effects, including spatial, positive and negative, in assessing the role of national factorial dimensions in employment growth, for which discretionary learning (DL) and Taylorism (TA) forms of work organization seem to have the most significant influence.
