Abstract

Purpose - This paper seeks to examine the dissemination of high‐involvement innovation practices at Finnish workplaces and to consider how their adoption can be promoted by means of a publicly‐funded R&D programme. Design/methodology/approach - The empirical material is based on a survey by the Finnish Workplace Development Programme TYKES. (TYKES is a governmental R&D programme for promoting simultaneous improvements in productivity and the quality of working life by granting funding to development projects at Finnish workplaces.) Findings - The interim results of the survey provide a strong evidence‐based argument in favour of the supportive role of the programme. Practical implications - The paper suggests areas where governments might introduce support programmes to foster the spread of innovative activity. Originality/value - The paper provides insights into support policy issues in Finland and will be of interest to those involved in that field.
