【Course Objectives】

Students will examine and report on work-consciousness of workers, their identities, various workstyles, corporate diversity managements, and reforms of workstyles by corporations, labor unions, and governments.

【Course Contents】

Work forms our living and identities. It is one of essential elements that give meanings to our lives and existence. Workstyles have been diversified in recent years. Non-standard employments have increased. In addition, various forms of regular employment have appeared such as region-limited regular employees, job-limited regular employees, and short-work-hour regular employees. At the same time, reforms of workstyle have been underway thanks to the diversity management, which aims to create a workplace friendly not only to men, but also women, foreigners, seniors and sexual minorities. Corporations have been introducing various systems to allow more flexible working styles and to decrease overtime work. These include revising inefficient ways of working, introducing work-life balance programs, implementing teleworking programs to allow employees to work at homes or third places, and shifting from membership-based employment system to job-based one. In order to reform long-hours-working practices, governments have been promoting various employment policies, while labor unions also propose to create better workplaces to managements. In this seminar, students will examine workers’ identities and consciousness about working and living in changing working surroundings, as well as corporate diversity management and reforms of long-hours-working practices. In spring semester, students will read literatures in order to acquire perspectives required to analyze the above-mentioned changes in working surroundings. In autumn semester, students will decide their research topics, examine their research topics, and complete their seminar reports.
