Rola innowacji popytowych i podażowych w zatrudnieniu w przedsiębiorstwach województwa podlaskiego

Abstract

The aim of the article is to analyze the impact of demand and supply innovations on employment in enterprises in the Podlaskie Voivodship. The first part presents theoretical issues concerning innovations distinguished due to the source of their creation (the process of creating demand and supply innovation), as well as their relation to changes on the labour market. The empirical part presents the results of a survey carried out on 200 enterprises in the Podlaskie Voivodship. The surveyed entrepreneurs declared the number of newly hired employees in 2018, and then these data were compared with the type of innovations implemented by these entities. A contingency coefficient was used to examine the relationship between these variables. Their analysis allows to conclude that in the Podlaskie Voivodship, the introduction of demand-side rather than supply-side innovations has a greater impact on increasing the number of jobs.(original abstract)
