Work Ethic: Japan and United States

Paper Summary:

A strong work ethic is vital to the success of any firm. In recent years, there have been many comparisons made between the work ethics of American and Japanese employees. This paper compares and contrasts Japan's management theories and work ethics with those of the United States. The paper presents differences relating to changes in technology, as well as interpersonal relations.

From the Paper:

"Additionally, managers fail to cater to the needs of workers and have the tendency to make employees feel that they can easily be replaced. This managerial theory is much different than the one that is practiced in Japan in which managers take special interests in the personal lives of workers. When American managers fail to view their employees as people with lives outside of the workplace they have a difficult time creating a job environment that is conducive with high levels of productivity."
