Globalization, after the collapse of cold war regime, has created job opportunities for many people who live in developing economies. Developing economies tend to have various kinds of problems such as poor social and physical infrastructure, political unrests, and shortage of human resources with high quality. However, Multi National Enterprises （MNEs） have advanced in those economies, seeking for low cost of labors and huge potential markets. Bangladesh is also one of the emerging economies which many MNEs deserve attention to. The present paper identifies the attributes, job satisfaction, organizational behavior, and skill formation of the core workers by taking up both Japanese firms and Bangladeshi firms operating in Bangladesh Export Processing Zone. The research methodology is the analysis based on the capital formation and earning performance. The major points of the research are as follows. The capital formation analysis shows three findings. First, the current wage level of Japanese firms is higher than that of Bangladeshi firms, being reflected in the length of service. Second, both the loyalty to firms and the job satisfaction which the local workers employed in Japanese firms have are higher than those engaged in Bangladeshi firms. Third, the skill formation system of Japanese firms is well established, compared with that of Bangladeshi firms. The earning performance analysis also indicates another three findings. First, workers employed in the firms with poor performance generally have low job satisfaction. Second, the skill promotion system of the firms with poor performance is behind that of the firms with good performance. Third, workers employed in the firms with poor performance tend to have considerably the willingness to leave their firms.
