Outline of Final Research Achievements

Using the data of "labor-management communication and determination of work conditions in small and medium-sized firms" conducted by JILPT, I split the sample into two groups, i.e., family firms (the founder, family members of the founder) and non-family firms (those promoted from within the firms) in accordance with the attributions of employers. I analyzed how employment practices differ between the two types of firms.
The results showed that the Human Resource Management (HRM) practices and the functions of the practices are different between family firms and non-family firms even in the same sized firms. This implies the possibility that the differences in employment system result from the attributions of employers.
