Sažetak
The research conducted within this paper focuses on the basic
coordinates of flexicurity models for ten E.U. Member States in Central
and Eastern Europe (C.E.E.), both through the efforts performed
nationally within the framework of flexibility and security as well as by
the flexicurity states, and effects on workers and the overall economic
activity. The aim is to form clusters that will group the analysed
countries according to their performances achieved under three basic
flexicurity dimensions: external numerical flexibility, income security,
and employment security. The results show that the C.E.E. countries
have adopted different flexicurity models and associated measures,
some focusing on improving flexibility by softening the employment
protection legislation or designing flexible working arrangements,
while others are concentrating more on employee protection with
tight employment regulations (associated with relatively high degrees
of income security) with different performances in terms of flexicurity
output (states and effects) and labour market outcomes. The impact
of various flexicurity measures upon labour productivity in C.E.E.
countries is also extremely significant, being largely discussed within
the paper.
