Research Abstract	In this study, firstly we sampled 17 manufacturing listed companies for case study in order to search a 21^<st>century model for utilization of human resource in Japanese companies : not only these 17 companies had been high performance companies judging from index of both profitability and labor productivity, but also these had attached importance to the employment of regular workers during the period (1992-2008). Secondly we interviewed personnel managers at one of these 17 companies to learn about the way of making good use of the employees' abilities in jobs. Thirdly we conducted a questionnaire survey mailed to the 40 high performance companies as a complementary research, and surveyed the relevant literatures for our theoretical research.
