Abstract:
This thesis deals with some aspects related to the changes in the organization of work that took place
within the supposed shift from the «taylor-fordist» paradigm to new productive models. Literature review
shows that, while the effects of new work practices on employees’ welfare are still not clear, the positive
impact on firms’ economic, financial and productive performances seems quite evident. So, one can assume
that the limited expansion of new work practices isn’t caused by employers’ scepticism on their
effectiveness. The thesis I test is that firms structural and market variables play a determinant role
in distinguishing «innovative» from «conservative» firms. Confirming a large part of the hypothesis existing
in literature, multivariate discriminant analysis shows that innovative firms characterize themselves for
more intense relationship with other firms, for higher degree of technological innovation and for higher
degree of market competitiveness. From the industrial relations side results are less clear: on one side
innovations in organization of work are more diffused in firms that have a formal workplace union representation;
on the other side, where the level of unionization is high the adoption of innovative work
practices is less widespread.
