“…After summarizing and analyzing the existing literature, this paper proposes the following theoretical framework. First, the literature shows that compared with other types of workers, knowledge workers pay more attention to high-level needs such as being respected and realizing their own values [2,6]. When managers provide knowledge workers with the resources and opportunities needed for career growth, they can not only meet the high-level needs of the workers, but also enable them to obtain the ability required for innovation [18,19,34,35].…”

In the era of a knowledge economy, how to build an effective incentive system and to motivate the creativity of knowledge workers is extremely important to the long-term future of high-tech enterprises. However, a performance incentive system based on material incentives widely constructed by managers not only is difficult to generate in the long term and a significant incentive effect for knowledge workers but also brings heavy economic burden to enterprises. This paper constructs a high-performance work system (HPWS) that includes three variables: career growth, career calling and inclusive leadership. This study also discusses its effects on the innovation performance of knowledge workers, and examines the role of the craftsman spirit in the above-mentioned influence relationships. Based on the valid sample data of 364 knowledge workers from 14 different high-tech enterprises, the hierarchical regression analysis and the bootstrap analysis are used to analyze the data and to verify the relationship between the above-mentioned variables. The results show that: (1) Career growth, career calling and inclusive leadership can significantly improve the innovation performance of knowledge workers. (2) The craftsman spirit plays the part of an intermediary role in the above-mentioned influence relationships. (3) Career calling, inclusive leadership and their interaction can positively regulate the relationship between career growth and the craftsman spirit. Compared with previous studies, the purpose of this paper is to build a cross-level incentive system for knowledge workers from the perspective of non-material incentives, which effectively makes up for the deficiencies of material incentive system. Furthermore, the conclusion of this paper also provides practical suggestions for managers to better integrate the limited resources of enterprises to meet the multi-level needs of knowledge workers and to improve their innovation performance to the maximum extent.

“…In the era of a knowledge economy, the development of enterprises relies more than ever on the production, diffusion, application and innovation of knowledge [1][2][3]. In this context, knowledge workers, as the carriers of knowledge, are receiving more and more attention from enterprise managers.…”

The study investigates if the advancements in the domestic servicification of manufacturing reflect the rise in Chinese servicification within the manufacturing sectors of its trade partners. In a broader context, the article verifies whether China is following global trends related to servicification and digitalization in GVCs with Europe. The research reveals a growing role for Chinese services in both developed and developing European economies, with a higher absorption observed in Western European countries due to their level of development. However, the study did not fully confirm that China is strengthening its role in European digital GVCs. The Chinese strategy of joining advanced GVCs is two-pronged, with heavy servicification with traditional services and considerable variation in the servicification with digital services.

PurposeThe article focuses on cross-sectoral analysis concerning services, especially ICT services, flowing from China to European manufacturing. The aim of the study is to analyse Sino-European relations in terms of ICT servicification. The article attempts to answer the following questions: does China’s relationship with Europe in terms of the servicification of manufacturing align with global servicification trends? Have global economic shocks, such as decoupling policies, diminished the flows of Chinese ICT services in European advanced manufacturing sectors?Design/methodology/approachThis study employed input–output models to analyse the increasing role of China as a supplier of ICT services to European manufacturing. It also identified the industries that are most dependent on Chinese ICT services.FindingsThe analysis highlights the increasing reliance of European manufacturing on Chinese ICT services, with a notable rise across both Western Europe and CEE. This dependency is particularly strong in advanced sectors such as automotive and electronics, and there is no evidence of decoupling from China, even amidst global shocks or geopolitical tensions like the Trump presidency. Additionally, the BRI had limited direct impact, as the servicification trends appear driven more by broader globalization processes.Originality/valueThe study investigates all European countries and their manufacturing sectors’ reliance on Chinese services. It concentrates on services related to high technology, specifically ICT. Moreover, the previous research has focused on servicification of manufacturing, in general, neglecting industry-specific analysis. It contributes to the literature by providing insights into the relationships between developing and developed economies in terms of GVCs in the context of digital servicification and decoupling conditions.
