| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to examine empirically both the determinants of organization's adoption of work and family programs and the performance of the organization.
In the first research, I have attempted to examine what variables are associated with an organization's adoption of work and family programs, using data on 109 listed companies on Tokyo Stock Exchanges from my survey of innovative compensation systems and human resource strategy. Major finding is as follows : high commitment work systems rather than practical responses and factors related internal labor market had a strong effect on the organization's adoption of work and family programs. This finding is consistent with the finding of Osterman(1995).
In the second research, I examined organizational strategic response to institutional pressures for employer involvement in work and family issues, using same data and employing the theoretical framework of Oliver(1991). The finding indicated that organizational size, industry type, the proportion of other organizations within same industry adopting work-family programs were affected on organizational strategic response.
Results of both researches supported the application of theoretical frameworks of Osterman (1995)and Oliver(1991) to Japanese enterprises.
