Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examined how workers can influence changes in conventional work practices. Through a historical case study of Japanese nursing, moved away from physician-centered to nursing-centered works, I found that, first, the beyond-generational actors' consistent and innovative actions would be essential factors. Second, policy and technological changes may have facilitating effects on the actions as unintended consequences. Thus, this study suggests that changes in conventional work practices would be driven by such "historical confluences" of the external tributaries and the endogenous beyond-generational-action chains.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
業界に広く見られる労働慣行の変化に関する既存研究では,ある世代のアクターによる意図的な変革行為が影響力を持つと見なす傾向にあった.これに対して本研究は,日本の看護職の歴史的研究に基づき,働き手たちの世代を超えた超長期的努力の持続に,政策や技術の変化の意図せざる結果が「歴史的に合流」したことで,広く業界に見られた労働慣行が変化したことを指摘している.このような点に,本研究の学術的新規性・意義がある.またこの歴史的プロセスは,長期的視点で見た時に,変革の実現に対して有効な要因は何だったのかを示唆し,現代日本組織に変革のヒントを提供する点で,実践的意義を持つ.
