In Japan, mail surveys are generally considered to achieve no more than a 20-40% response rate, and since the mid-1970s, overall response rates in Japanese surveys have declined by about 10 percentage points. Our research is one of the first studies to use the Tailored Design Method in Japan to conduct a mail survey. We compared response rates of our survey about people’s attitudes toward bears and wildlife management to response rates of other mail surveys with similar content to see the effectiveness of the Tailored Design Method. Response rates in two study sites, Nagano, an urban city, and Otari, a rural village were 48.3% and 66.7% respectively, using the Tailored Design Method. The response rate in Otari was significantly higher than those of other rural villages in previous surveys. The response rate for Nagano was comparable to results of rural villages even though response rates in metropolitan areas are usually lower than those of rural areas. The Tailored Design Method may be profitably applied in Japan and other societies in order to improve survey response rates.","PeriodicalId":39496,"journal":{"name":"Sociological Theory and Methods","volume":"2 1","pages":"267-274"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78429307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Voluntary and Involuntary Job Mobility in Japan 日本的自愿和非自愿工作流动

{"title":"Voluntary and Involuntary Job Mobility in Japan","authors":"Hirohisa Takenoshita","doi":"10.11218/OJJAMS.23.2_85","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.11218/OJJAMS.23.2_85","url":null,"abstract":"This research aims to make clear the determinants of job shift patterns in Japan. Previous studies have highlighted the importance of both individual level of resource and reward, and labor market structures which affect job mobility patterns. However, previous research on job mobility in Japan did not incorporate individual level of attributes such as resource and reward into systematic theoretical points of view while the impact of labor market structure on job mobility drew distinctive attention in Japan. In addition, many previous studies did not take into account the context of job shift because of a lack of available source of information in survey data. The present research pays attention to the divergence between voluntary and involuntary job mobility. The result shows that firm − specific skills and occupational reward made it less likely for employees to quit a job. It corresponds to the model of reward and resource. However, there is no evidence that general human capital which is transferable across firm would increase the likelihood of quitting a job as is seen in the U.S labor market. In addition, the way in which labor market structure influences job shift patterns is almost identical to the model of segmented labor market. In contrast, the way in which macroeconomic conditions for labor market affects rates of job shift in Japan is deviant from the hypothesis for the U.S labor market. This paper highlights the differences between voluntary and involuntary job mobility in Japan. Compared to the previous studies in the U.S, the job mobility patterns in Japan appear to be roughly similar to the ones for the United States whereas it seems that the institutional arrangements specific to Japanese labor market could make the job mobility patterns substantially different from those for the other indus-trialized countries. Cross − national comparison of intragenerational mobility which has lacked empirical studies would be further needed so that we can make clear the underpinnings of job mobility structure and institutional arrangements of labor market which diverge job mobility across country.","PeriodicalId":39496,"journal":{"name":"Sociological Theory and Methods","volume":"44 1","pages":"85-104"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74931074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
