The Spread of OCB in the Organization : A study of the process involved
Get PDFResearch on Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) has been conducted almost all over the world since the concept was proposed in two pioneering studies in 1983. Several studies have discussed the concept and dimensions of OCB in great depth. Some have examined the effect of an individual, a group, or organizational factors on OCB. However, research focusing on the outcomes of OCB is lagging for several reasons. It is not enough to relate the aggregated OCB to the organizational outcomes empirically, because this method does not give researchers a deep understanding of the role of each kind of OCB. This study points out the importance of each OCB, and examines the way in which OCB diffuses in the organization. This study also focuses on the effect of OCB on shared work values among organizational members, which, in turn, enables them to communicate about work-related matters in a smooth manner, without exchange of explicit language. This study also introduces the findings of a few empirical studies conducted by the author. These empirical studies reveal the important role of context in the process by which one OCB induces another. Finally, some directions for future studies are also proposed.departmental bulletin pape
The Vietnam-Japan Trans-border Recruiting System for Construction Workers : Japan’s Changing National Policy and the Role of Intermediate Agencies
Get PDFJapan’s parliament passed a controversial immigration law on December 25, 2018. This law will create new visa statuses that will enable general foreign workers to be employed in a wide variety of jobs in Japan. This action marks a major departure from Japan’s past policy of admitting a limited number of workers through multiple “side doors.” However, most of the specific measures such as exact numbers, exact tasks, skill levels, tests, and social infrastructures are subject to confirmation by ministries and agencies. The precise manners in which the newly introduced plans will incorporate immigrant workers through this political method is heavily dependent on the role of the intermediate agencies. These organizations tend to comprise the industrial associations in each trade. This framework is not new for Japan’s immigration policy; it actually presents a continuity with the logic of the present system, especially the technical intern training program advanced by the government since the 1990s against the wide critique of substantial labor exploitation. In order to examine the characteristics of such immigration policy in Japan, trans-border relationships previously established under the disguise of the acceptance of workers must first be scrutinized. This paper aims to examine the current state of the Vietnam-Japan transborder recruiting system. To accomplish the study, focus is placed on the specific sector of the construction industry while taking the changing national and industrial policies pertaining to development, skill formation, and labor relations into consideration. The argument presented in the paper comprises three aspects: the incidence of migrant construction workers worldwide and the challenges pertaining to this phenomenon; Japan’s national policy and the role of intermediate agencies in the creation of a trans-border recruiting system between Vietnam and Japan; and the future implications of this practice.departmental bulletin pape
Jobs and Incomes of Former International Students who returned to Vietnam
Get PDFDespite a certain number of international students returning to their home countries after finishing their studies in Japan, there have been few studies on their jobs and lives after leaving Japan, except some case-studies based on limited data. The survey and research on former international students have mainly focused on their working situation in Japan. This article focuses on their jobs after leaving Japan. Based on the questionnaire survey on the internet “Jobs and lives of Vietnamese former international students who had studied in Japan” conducted by the author in 2017, it analyzes their current incomes. Respondents tend to earn higher incomes than their counterpart, college graduates in Vietnam and employees who are working at Japanese companies in Vietnam. The result implies that the current working conditions have effects on the incomes, but the effects of some variables relating to educational attainments and their majors in Japan were not statistically significant, though bachelor’s degree has a slight effect on incomes. Most of the respondents are living in Ho Chi Minh City.departmental bulletin pape
