Plunging Working Motivation. What's Going on in Japanese Who were Called "Worker Drone" Long Time Ago? --from Japan

Are Japanese getting lazy? It was found that the ranking of working motivation of Japanese was the second worst among 16 countries. Nikkei business reported yesterday.

The investigation was conducted in 2005 by Towers Perrin, a consulting firm of personnel and organization.

According to the investigation, 41% Japanese said that their motivation to work is low. This number was the second worst number next to India.

In the past, Japanese working motivation and loyalty to company were high and famous in the world. Japanese were called, "worker drone" at that time. However, time changed.

I think that this does not mean that Japanese workers have become lazy but environmental change made a bit influence on them.

Salary system, no more job security, and etc. Old generation who enjoyed the bubble wave tend not to understand the young workers, either…and so on. To put it simply, everything is messy under transition.

This is not only the matter inside companies but rotten society, especially unreasonable sweet working environments of government workers, corruptions of top government officials, etc have made the workers in private firms feel stupid to work hard because tax they have to pay is going to their purse with lots of holes.

What companies and government have to do is to make reasonable and fair environments in order to let citizens want to work hard with health.

Under current situation, I wonder if even past Japanese samurais could keep loyal heart to the government or the organizations that is not worth being loyal.

Thanks a lot for your visiting!! Have a nice day!!
