| Research Abstract |
Research outcomes are as follows, and are published as a research report.
1 Recent progress of "outcome-based evaluation system (OBES)" in Japanese organizations were confirmed and discussed through survey data. Major principles underlying in personnel management by OBES were described in terms of five aspects. A theory of mutual sufficiency between human resources and business models which is to provide theoretical foundation for the adequate discussion on the effectiveness of each OBES principle upon individual and organizational performance, are newly proposed. The usefulness of the theory are examined by the questionnaire data answered by organizational employees.
2 Two kinds of scales are newly developed in order to examine the effectiveness of OBES. The first one is to measure the "contextual performance" which means the individual's contributions to peer workers and whole work group by spending work efforts beyond one's defined role and task. The second one is to measure the quantity of group activities. Using these new scales, necessary conditions for the effective team management under OBES were discussed.
3 We surveyed, by the structured interview with manager and workers, how the Management By Objects (MBO) are actually carrying out in the workshop. It was confirmed that there exists large differences in the way of recognition of the meaning as well as practicing MBO by managers. Obvious evidence indicated that the intensive and successful practices leaded to higher satisfaction and performance of individual and workgroup.
4 Research findings were published and presented at the annual meeting of psychological associations including international congress.
