| Summary | In the information technology industry, human resources are the biggest assets in corporate competitiveness. Developing and utilizing human resources to the maximum extent is a critical issue for business and human resource management. In the two-year plan beginning with the fiscal year of 1999, the Japan Information Technology Industry Services Association (JISA) endorsed a "Business model promoting vacation leave to ensure a working style that is filled with energy and peace of mind," commissioned by the Health, Labour and Welfare Ministry, to improve employment conditions and working environments so that IT companies would be able to hire and retain excellent human resources. In the fiscal year of 1999, JISA conducted research on the actual status of acquiring annual paid leave and an employee survey. Since the fiscal year of 2000, succeeding and enhancing the results of the previous research, JISA has been working on investigating the ideal work model for IT engineers by setting up a work model committee in JISA. In particular, JISA conducted this research for companies and employees as well as an interview survey on human resources management for overseas IT industries. This research comprises a survey on the IT engineers' incentives for corporate HR divisions, and one on the IT engineers' perspectives of employee occupations. The purpose of the survey is to examine three themes: (1) IT engineers' perspectives on occupation and incentive, (2) the productivity of a project team and corporate human resource management, and (3) human resource management and motivation for IT engineers in growing companies. |
