Abstract

Workplace innovation (comprising technical, organisational and social innovation) is increasingly recognised as a source of competitive advantage and worker well-being, and the OECD and EU have urged governments and businesses to prioritise it in the analysis and practice of innovation. The FITwork project (2015-2019), supported by Scottish Government and multi-agency funding and overseen by an Advisory Group of key partners, which investigated the range of management practices that impact on innovation, business performance and employee outcomes. A key part of this programme of work was analysing the relationship between specific workplace practices which capture or influence ability, motivation and opportunity (mediating processes) and other positive business and employee outcomes. The unifying theme across this research was the delivery of a holistic approach to skills use and upskilling, deploying people, designing jobs and management practice that delivers motivation, innovation, inclusion, productivity and material benefits to workers, while maximising returns from individual and public human capital investments.
