Abstract

The sarariiman , as we knew him from postwar Japan, is becoming a thing of the past. The company man is being replaced by a host of nonregular employees to help Japanese corporations adjust to the prevailing and forecasted economic conditions. The full-time keiyakushain (contract worker), as well as part-time workers are now growing in numbers in Japan’s organizations, creating challenges not only for human resource professionals, but also for policy makers that are faced with growing numbers of dissatisfied workers struggling with lower wages and nonstable employment .
