日本人の眼からみたインドネシア人勤労者

抄録

 This is an interim report on the japanese observations of the working attitudes and habits of Indonesian employees. This research was conducted as part of a project on the "Interpersonal relationship among urban people of Indonesia". Information was collected in 1975/76 from Japanese or Japanese-Indonesian joint ventures in Jakarta and its surroundings by interviewing Japanese supervisers working there. The number of Japanese interviewed is 57 males with an age-distribution from late twenties to early fifties, and a variety of status from president director to field superviser.
  Results of the interviews are arranged under such headings as job performance, attitude toward working, loyalty to the organization, human relations, and life-style. Japanese interviewed did not have similar opinions about their Indonesian fellow-workers, and their evaluations vary widely. Contradictory observations are presented here as is. The Japanese evaluations should be carefully interpreted, taking into account the particularity of Japanese culture, the particular tendency of response of Japanese working overseas, and the particular attitude of the selected elite staff sent from Japan.
