Abstract: Innovation activity or creation of new knowledge, involves consideration of systemic aspects. In an economy, organizations are directly involved in different types of innovative activities. The innovation process is also influenced by the set of institutional rules that embody, restrict, constrain or encourage the research work of innovators. Emerging, innovative forms of work organization are an insufficient and highly differentiated resource used in European organizations, but they offer the potential for convergence between improved organizational performance and employment growth. The European Union institutions place a strong emphasis on the influence of workplace innovation, both in a direct relationship with the performance of companies and institutions and as a factor of national and regional economic growth, thus requiring a common strategy and similar policies in the employment field. The purpose of the current study is based on analysing innovative forms of work organization at European level. Therefore, the methodology of this paper is focused on literature review of the relevant publications. It was revealed that, in the literature, there are numerous studies that have evaluated and confirmed the interdependencies and/or correlations between workplace innovation, policies promoted by public institutions, respectively strategies implemented at the level of companies or organizations and increasing their performance. In most cases, highlighting workplace innovation as a factor influencing existing processes within organizations depends on the type of innovation, the time horizon of the research, the perspective of the study, and the research methodology used.
