Outline of Research at the Start

The outline of the research is (1) review literature, establish interview guidelines (themes, factors for investigation); (2) interview firms in Japan and France and produce qualitative case-studies;(3) develop hypotheses and a research model to investigate the questions below; (4) design and carry out a quantitative questionnaire; (5) conduct quantitative analyses and test hypotheses (research questions); and (6) provide policy recommendations for Japanese and French firms.

Outline of Annual Research Achievements

In the academic year AY2024, our research team published the following two papers in peer-reviewed international academic journals: 1) Familiarity as main predictors of emotional contagion at work in Japan, International Journal of Organizational Analysis and 2) Antecedents of Subjective Well-Being at Work - The Case of French Permanent Employees, Evidence-based HRM: a Global Forum for Empirical Scholarship. We also presented at a peer-reviewed academic conference, and launched a qualitative nationwide survey on the subjective-well-being of Japanese workers working in a telework environment, and received over 500 respondents. We are now analyzing the data.
