In Japan, the companies and their employees have a close relationship in order to increase the level of productivity
as Japanese culture values work more than family life
so that the workers won't look for work elsewhere
despite the amount of unpaid overtime they have to do
because so many people are employed for life
If there is no longer any work for a Japanese employee it is impossible to find another job
retirement is the only option
the company doesn't dismiss him but trains him for another job
the company will continue to provide the essentials for his family
his fringe benefits will be taken away
Although the Japanese consensus system can mean that decisions are not made quickly. no workers are excluded due to their position or lack of experience
at least when the decision is reached everyone will be happy
it is much more efficient than systems in other countries
they can ensure that the decision comes from those most qualified to make it
the advantage is that company policy will be consistent
83 TEMPERAMENTS OF MAN AND WOMAN On the basis of research I have carried out, I believe that there are male and female versions of the same temperament. Temperamentally there are male as well as female introverts and extroverts, fiercely brave women as well as fiercely brave men, shy and gentle men as well as shy and gentle women. Every society emphasizes an expected personality for each sex. Sometimes both men and women are expected to have the same kind of personality. That is, both men and women are expected to be outgoing, active people or, on the contrary, introspective, meditative people. In cultures where this is so, sex differences are reflected in the particular ways in which a woman and a man are expected to behave and the activities each is expected to engage in. In a culture in which both men and women are expected to be outgoing and active, women may be expected to take a lot of initiative in personal relations between men and women, while men may be expected to take the initiative in public, community activities. In other cultures it is expected that the personalities of women and men will be complementary. The personality of women is based on one set of temperamental traits and that of men on another. In such a culture women may be expected to be passive, gentle and modest, while men may be expected to be active and self-assertive in whatever activities persons of either sex engage in.
