Abstract

The paper is an examination of how a reduction of market-driven insecurity in working life can be evolved to managing uncertainty in a manner conducive to innovation so that the innovative capability is increased on a sustained basis. A change in paradigms is required for this. The experience of insecurity in the modern working environment and the intensification of this effect on the part of companies is equivalent for employees to the institutionalization of the employment biography (employography). For the individual, the salutogenic orientation towards employography represents an ambiguous possibility of the active organization of one's own life chances and general living conditions, but in terms of society as a whole, a change in paradigms is needed to accept the uncertainty as a basis for innovative organization of the future.
