Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, the structure and origin of employees’ acceptance of evaluation and reward are discussed. For employees, though justice and fairness of evaluation and reward are important, judging whether actual evaluation and reward are justice/fair or not is difficult. Furthermore, actual HRM process tends to be ambiguous.
When their work situation is totally fulfilled and actual rewards can meet with their economic needs, employees tend to accept such ambiguity. We depicted these points based on interview research and survey research conducted in Japan and China.
