Understanding the Japanese work customs in general

Eg. Japanese workers

When listening to the word of “Japan” can’t be separated from history of Indonesian independence. Of course not, because Indonesia was colonized for 3.5 years and it’s not a short time. But this blog is not to discuss about history ya.. I just want to review a little about Japan history in Indonesia.
Who is not familiar with this Asian Tigers in the field of technology and economics? Yes, that is Japan country. In this time I will tell you about the Japanese work customs which is being one of reason why Japan can prosper until nowadays. Alright, let’s go on to the first point.
1.      Hard worker
This is no longer a secret that Japanese is a hard worker. According to the data I have got that employees in Japan can buy a car just within 9 days, wah let’s compare with employees in Indonesia. One employee in Japan can be said able in doing work which is usually done by 5 or 6 people. Go home early is a little bit embrassing to them and indirectly indicates that the employee is not needed. Professor in the college usually go home late at night (exactly in the morning), so that students reluctant to go home early. Most of literature said that beside their smart brain, hard working is one of achievement to make Japan prosperous. 

2.      Loyalty
Loyalty makes the career system in a company run and organized neatly. Slightly different from systems in America and Europe. The Japanese is rarely to move their occupations. They usually hold on in one or two company until retirement and this is not really me ^^ . This maybe because of the requirement of most Japan’s companies are only willing to accept fresh graduate which is trained and taught by the company based on the core business of a company. Meanwhile in Indonesia most of companies looking for employee who already has experience so that the company doesn’t need to teach the employee anymore. Strong commitement and system of company makes their company be develop.

3.      Samurai Principle
 The principle of samurai is the principle of never give up. This samurai principle is always there in the hearts of Japanese citizen but not for a war rather it is to build the economy, maintain self-esteem and honor of the nation. As an example is the technological sophistication that they continuously create without giving up.

4.      Kaizen Principle (on time)
 For Japanese citizen, optimal costs and time will produce high quality products. This thing encourages Japanese citizen to be highly committed to work. Finishing a  job on time will reduce the occurrence of waste and loss. That’s why company in Japan applies “on time” regulations for their employee.

5.      Discipline
A positive mindset makes Japanese society be disciplined in working. They assume that if the company’s production increases and gets a big profit then they will also get a great profit.

Well, take the good work customs as a motivation for you and left the bad one. Which Japanese work customs do you want to apply in life?
Write in the column of comment ya.. :)
