Abstract
The digital revolution is happening, transforming the way we move and produce. Success in the digital revolution
means that the rail industries need to use the best available technologies focusing on people. The managerial and organizational practices adopted by railway entities have considerable significance for Railway's ability to succeed in
global competition. One of the challenges for railway entities is to deliver innovative products, offering quickness
and flexibility to respond to changing demands from their customers. Non-technological innovations and especially
Workplace innovation, have a key role to play in the digitalization and acceleration of technological developments,
therefore in the railway sector competitiveness. This draws attention to the importance of innovation climate and employees' commitment aiming at improving staff motivation and working conditions, thereby enhancing labor productivity, organizational performance, innovation capability, reactivity to market change, and consequently business
competitiveness. As with any emerging opportunity, there is no established path to follow to activate inclusive growth
in railway SMEs to uptake Workplace innovation. To address these issues, this paper develops and tests a research
model that covers individual behavior, organizational practices, and process practices of innovation among employees,
analyzing the impact of Workplace Innovation on firm performance.
