| Summary | There has been a rapid change in the material and social character of the workplace, along with new business trends. At a macro level, with the softening economy and service economy, there has been a remarkable enhancement including business diversification, introduction and utilization of ME systems, responding to globalization, and aging of employees. Additionally, at a micro level at a workplace, changes occur, such as new diverse occupations and employment status, generation gaps in the social awareness, emergence of women in the workplace, changes in career consciousness, increase in the foreign workforce and well-educated employees, and various kinds of stress that lead to changes in labor management. Under these situations, the factors are considered ripples or wavelets that are not clearly perceived by individuals or the workplace. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to investigate these ripples or wavelets from the perspective of vertical and horizontal human relationships in the workplace. This research consisted of a company survey and an individual survey. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

[Company survey] From the employment status survey of Metropolitan Tokyo, 1,500 samples were abstracted by controlling the company size and industry.
[Individual survey] There were a total of 3,000 individuals, aged between 20 and 65 years, and abstracted from the Basic Resident Register of the three districts in Tokyo (Nerima ward, Edogawa ward, and Machida city). Individuals were abstracted at regular intervals, ending up with a total of 1,000 samples from every district. Through the company contact, 2,000 individuals were expected to participate, although the actual number of participants was below 2,000, and a few samples were added from the Basic Resident Register. All participating companies were requested to ask their employees to participate in the survey. In all, 51 companies accepted the request (an effective response of 14.9% from among the 343 companies) |
