Description

Over the past few years, studies have noted that Japanese young people are increasingly desiring more security or stability in their work. This study sought to examine Japanese young people's desire for security or stability. One thousand men and women ages 18 to 59 completed a web-based survey. That survey involved a questionnaire based on Schein's concept of career anchors. Survey results failed to reveal a "desire for stability in youth" in terms of chronological age but they did reveal a "desire for stability in individuals with a limited work history." As job seekers face a harsh hiring climate, they express the desire for a secure or stable job at the company where they are applying. However, companies have not necessarily prepared themselves to satisfy that desire, so a "reality shock" will set in once youth are hired, causing them to alter their desire for security or stability.
