Abstract:
This book examines, through an innovative conceptual approach, the relationship between job security and job flexibility. The concept of job flexicurity is presented to highlight the dynamics of the labour market. The concepts of rigidity, security, flexibility and plasticity are investigated to explore the interplay between different employee considerations. It provides readers with a new configuration of the dynamics of labour market mechanisms and emphasizes the influence of the concept of positional (vector) flexicurity. The important economic impact is demonstrated both on the employer (optimization of the structure of the employees, depending on their qualification and productivity) and the employee (the possibility - without prohibitive costs - to change the job to optimize their reward). Particular attention is paid to the Romanian labour market with an empirical case study that extends the ideas discussed. The book, both theoretically and instrumentally, will be relevant for researchers, students, and practitioners interested in labour economics and the labour market. Emil Dinga is Senior Researcher for fundamental research in Economics at the Romanian Academy and supervisor for doctoral and post-doctoral programs in economics.
