Well-being of employees as a key factor in transition to innovative society

Abstract

The contemporary world is full of contradictions, including the essential problem of well-being of co-workers. Most troubles of this kind cannot be resolved with measures of the usual management and/or economic theory that have caused these troubles. Therefore, the question is raised about what could be done about the well-being of co-workers, if principles and measures of innovative business, social responsibility and requisite holism were used. In the paper the mentioned problem is discussed and a path toward the society of knowledge, innovation and affluence is indicated.
