Many research works in the past have shown that the skill formation of workers has been regulated by business management, such as human resource management and production management. Human resource management refers to the wage level, the promotion range, the ways of recruiting laborers, the criteria for promotion, and the turnover rate of workers. It is related to the incentives for laborers to improve their skills. Production management refers to the extent of job rotation, the quality control capability of workers, and the allocation of workers. Both of these kinds of management are expected to upgrade the skills of workers. However it is supposed that attitude, behavior, and consciousness of workers will be closely related to the skill formation. This paper argues about those effects which variables on the worker side such as job satisfaction, commitment to the firm, and attributes of workers exert on skill formation through research sampling workers employed in Japanese and Bangladeshi companies.
