Abstract

Building on recent arguments advocating the benefits of different types of employment flexibility, we examine the relationships among the four types of employment (knowledge-based, job-based, contract, and alliances) and firm performance. The results indicate that a greater use of knowledge-based employment and contract work is positively associated with firm performance. The results also indicate that both knowledge-based employment and contract work positively interact with job-based employment to impact firm performance. In addition, the relationships between knowledge-based employment and firm performance, as well as between job-based employment and firm performance, vary across levels of technological intensity.
