  • Creative endeavour and its legal regulation [Elektronski vir] : time for change
    Zirnstein, Elizabeta
    Today a large majority of innovations are created within the framework of an employment relationship. Even though at first site creativity and innovation does not relate to order, but instead to ... creativeness and free spirit, they have to be carried out in an orderly manner. From the legal point of view, this orderliness refers mainly to the allocation of ownership over the results of creative (innovative) performance and the regulation of rewards for such performance. The question is how states and companies should allocate such ownership in order to encourage creativity and innovation. The same question can be raised regarding the reward systems for creativity and innovativeness in employment relationship. This paper examines the effects of national and company regulation of creativity and innovativeness on motivation of employees to be creative and innovative. While setting the rules of ownership over employee innovations, the Slovene legislator tried to find the proper balance between the interests of employers and employees. However the legislation in this field should be changed in accordance with the newest findings regarding the motivation of knowledge workers for creative and innovative performance. The allocation of ownership over the results of creativity and innovativeness in employment relationship should stay by the employer, while the reward system should change from objective and rational to subjective and sensitive with soft-performance measures.
