| Summary |
With changes in industrial structure, diversification of employment patterns, shortening of working hours, and progress in information technology, it is expected that an increasing number of salaried workers will engage in social activities other than their primary job, such as side jobs, volunteer activities that do not involve income, and participation in cross-industrial associations. In line with this trend, some problems in ensuring working conditions and labor management have become apparent in specific industries and occupation types, such as the unclear scope of employers' responsibility for working hour management and workers' compensation coverage. However, it is difficult to say that the actual situation, legislative problems, and the situation in other countries are fully understood. Therefore, a research committee was established from 1994 to 1995 on behalf of the Labor Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Labor, and this questionnaire survey was conducted as part of the research. In this survey, not only the actual status of side jobs and the need for side jobs among white-collar workers in large companies but also the current status of participation in study groups and exchange meetings and self-development were added to the survey items to determine how social activities outside the main job are related to the exercise and development of workers' skills and how this is related to their work performance in the main job. The survey also clarified what is needed to support outside activities. |

| Sampling Procedure |
The Questionnaire was sent directly to 1,000 members of a specific cross-industrial association by mail. Next, we asked the general managers of nine companies (listed on the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, etc.) that had invested in the organization to distribute the questionnaires to 500 employees of each of the nine companies (50 to 60 employees per company). In addition, 50 individual members of the organization (10 copies per person) were asked to distribute the questionnaires. The breakdown of the members of this cross-industrial association is as follows. 1) Corporate members are members who have joined the association on a corporate basis. They consist mainly of persons at the department or section manager level of the corporation, with an average age of about 45, with about 600 members. 2) Individual members consist mainly of young businesspeople under 35 years old (half men and half women), with 400 members. |
