the Period of Post Economic Growth

Explaining the custom of postwar “long-term employment” has been an important issue in the study of Japanese social strati cation. I pose the question why employees of large companies who obtained jobs during the Period of Economic Growth experienced this custom. For this question, I focus on the association between the occupational attitudes of the male employees of the generation and their quitting job actions in the Period of Post Economic Growth. The result of the analysis using panel surveys that traced male samples over a long period of 27years (1979-2006) shows that job satisfaction of blue color workers engaged in small or middle size rms in 1979 discouraged them from quitting their jobs later but the attitudes of other workers, who were employed in large rms or white color workers in small or medium sized rms did not affect their mobility. This implies that employees who were more likely to decrease wages or job securities by quitting jobs settled in their company even if they had been dissatis ed with works. I think that these interaction effects between attitudes and positions in labor market on their quitting job actions affected the custom of “Long-Term Employment”.
