Employee-Driven Innovation and Industrial Relations

Stan Spiegelaere and Guy Gyes

Chapter 12 in Employee-Driven Innovation, 2012, pp 230-245 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Both industrial relations and innovation are well-established subjects in the current scientific literature. Although research has frequently related the two concepts, it has rarely focused on or considered employee behaviour. This chapter reviews the literature linking Employee-Driven Innovation with two key concepts of the industrial relations field: employee participation through workplace representation and collective bargaining outcomes such as wage and employment regulation. This chapter concludes that direct participation is positive for EDI; indirect participation stimulates direct participation and can positively influence EDI when embedded in optimal company industrial relations. Further, the literature review uncovers a general lack of empirical research on the effects of labour regulation and wages on EDI and related employee behaviour.
