Abstract
Redesigning organisations and work processes can lead to better organisational performance and jobs in general (e.g., Bloom & van Reenen, 2010; Boxall, 2012; Boxall & Macky, 2009). Workplace innovation (WPI), a specific approach focusing on participative organisational redesign, is beneficial for both business performance and the quality of jobs. The benefits of WPI have been documented for both employees and organisations across a range of organisational and national contexts. For example, WPI has been linked to both improved individual-level outcomes, such as indices of the quality of working life and improved organisational performance (Dhondt & van Hootegem, 2015; Dhondt, Vermeerbergen, & van Hootegem, 2017; Oeij, Rus, & Pot, 2017). Hence, companies that care about their performance and employees could consider the adoption and implementation of WPI. Hoofdstuk 11.
