Successful business is all about two things: innovation and job quality – that is, the capacity to attract, utilise and hold on to value-added workers. We also know that the two aspects are closely intertwined. But before the QuInnE project, we knew very little about their complex relationship.
Sure, there is no lack of research touching upon workplace factors that can support, facilitate or even mitigate innovation. Just like it’s rather easy to find studies on job quality improvements brought by some innovations. The two cross paths here and there, but there is just no research taking these two multi-dimensional and complex phenomena and theorising their interdependence in a comprehensive and stringent manner.
