Titre :  Well-being at work designed and felt by Japanese employees. Convergences and divergences with French and American employees
Numéro :  68
Année :  2021
Volume :  XXVII
Auteur(s) :  Sophie SZYMKOWIAK, Jordane CREUSIER
Résumé :  The controversy about the universality of well-being at work were at the origins of this study. As long as it is not ensured, the external validity of the managerial practices formulated for the Western workforce is not guaranteed. We particularly aim to know if the general idea of well-being at work as well as the way it is felt by Japanese employees are different from those of their Western counterparts. The case of Japanese employees is thus compared to that of American and French employees. The general hypothesis is that the concept of well-being at work is similar in East and West while its feeling—expressed by the original combinations of its constituent dimensions—is contingent. To test it, a statistical approach centered on the variables then on the persons is performed. The results obtained from 612 Japanese employees tend to support our assumption. If the dimensions of well-being at work that had been observed in the West also appear in Japan, certain groups of employees—operated according to the way in which well-being is lived—are specific. The original profiles are those dominated by a) the compatibility of different social times, b) the quality of relationships with coworkers and the manager, and finally, c) by favorable reports to social times and to the material working environment. As a result, managerial practices which are recommended to develop all dimensions of well-being for the western workforce might not be effective in companies employing Japanese personnel.
