?:abstract
  • This study aims to clarify the meaning of work for the Japanese through a cross-national comparison between developed countries. We analyze a number of work-related subjective indicators using data from the World Values Survey and the International Social Survey Programme, such as work centrality, employment commitment, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction. The results indicate that, firstly, for the Japanese, work centrality was at the highest level among developed countries until the early 1980s; however, it declined thereafter, and recently the level of work centrality in Japan has been approximately in line with the level of affluence. We can state that the level of work centrality is neither high nor low; however, relative work centrality is at a slightly low level. Secondly, employment commitment (i.e., non-financial work orientation) was at a high level in the 1990s; however, it declined significantly thereafter and reached a low level in the 2010s. Conversely, financial/instrumental work orientation has remained consistently high. Thirdly, organizational commitment (effort) and job satisfaction are at consistently low levels, whereas organizational commitment (willingness to stay) is consistently high. Fourthly, the Japanese do not have a particularly diligent work ethic and place a high value on the comfort of workplace relationships. We discuss the changes in the meaning of working for the Japanese over the past 20 years. (xsd:string)
