Abstract

Job, workplace and human resource management (HRM) designs are nowadays at the centre of great attention in economic analysis. New work practices are becoming the cornerstone of an approach to flexibility from within the firm which is credited with a significant contribution to sustainable productivity growth. Building on recent empirical evidence, we develop a 243 framework that embeds all the main findings and shows how dynamic organizational capabilities are cumulative and endogenously created, according to a typical path-(inter)dependency process. Policy implications in term of diffusion of workplaces reengineering and new work practices are also derived.
