Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to investigate the psycho-social mechanism behind “Karo-shi” (death from overwork), that is, working long hours, from a socio-cultural perspective. We proposed a Four Level, 10 Factor Model of Work Culture, and tested it across six nations, including China, Finland, Germany, Japan, South Korea, and the United States. The results showed, ①“Karo-shi” is increasing in Korea as in Japan and ②In Japan, rather than role overload stressors, the pressure to work longer hours and the maintenance dimension of leadership affected extended work hours. In this research, Japan’s Collectivism I was low, but it is suggested that factors related to the context of collectivism, such as stronger workplace norms or the relationship between workers and leaders, is related to extended work hours.
