ワーク・ライフ・バランス満足の決定要因―人事マイクロデータによる分析―

抄録

In this paper, we investigate whether human resource management practices can significantly enhance the work-life-balance satisfaction of workers using personnel-micro data from a Japanese medium-sized company, comprising approximately 600 employees. The dataset is of all regular employees working in one manufacturing company including in both blue-collar and white-collar occupations of three divisions: Product, Sales, and R&D. The objective of this study is to examine the heterogeneity and trends of human resource management. The results showed that there is a positive relationship between the fairness of job allocation and the work-life-balance satisfaction. It was also found that under-skilled workers in the Sales (R&D) division receive significantly lesser (higher) work-life-balance satisfaction than their correctly placed colleagues, after controlling for boss effect and other workplace characteristics.
