Abstract
In the recent decades there is a growing interest in how public and private organisations can develop abilities to innovate in order to cope with the challenges created by the changing priorities of the political market, the intensification of global competition and the higher speed of the technological changes. The ability of organisations to mobilize their internal resources into efficient and dynamic routines depends on intangible resources (e.g. creativity) and less on such traditional tangible factors as physical or financial sources. The core aim of the paper is to identify and compare the creative/learning capabilities of the workplaces in the EU–27 countries. The data of the European Working Conditions Surveys (2005, 2010 and 2015) shows that public administration boosts creative workplaces in all countries. The increasing rate of creative jobs may speed up the implementation of the “High-Engagement Civil Services”.
