| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research is to extract the new human resource management (HRM) characteristic of Japanese companies as an evolved type, and to clarify the emergent process and functionality. The key concept at that time is a duality principle in the organization modes which means a rational combination of specific HRM and information systems. Moreover, it is the costs of the personnel information which attaches a condition to the rationality in specific organization modes.
The concrete research subject was the following four points.
(1)Include the derived type for what has actually happened to the once traditional Japan type organization modes in the present age. (2)If variation is looked at by the Japan type organization modes, check the process of the generating. (3)Actual organization modes examines the reason which evolved such. (4)The extracted Japan type HRM checks statistically whether it is functional to financial performance.
The following thing became clear from the result of a case studies and a survey research.
1)The functional HRM in a present-day Japanese company is the form which "the incentive system of a job base" and the "Personnel Department concentration of rights of personnel management" combined.
2)If the new HRM practice a "succession plan" and "career autonomous support" is added to this form, the explanation power over performance will increase further. The new concept which attaches a condition to the functionality of the HRM "the costs of personnel information" originating in asymmetric information and stickiness was drawn from the above result. And this research acquired the knowledge "the Japan type HRM evolves so that the costs problem of personnel information may be solved."
