Abstract

A research of administrative organizations in prefectures and municipalities in Japan with populations ofover 10,000 citizens was conducted in 2009 (N=509). The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors whichcontribute to administrative organizational reform as revealed in the research.The in-depth examination of the results indicate that the cognition of the organizational boundary is ambiguous,resulting in a confusion between a local region and its administrative organization. Sixty-percent of leaders regardreforming organizational climate as important. Most of the answers emphasized behavioral change of staff ratherthan reforming organizational climate.The in-depth analysis shows: (1) A governor or mayor who regards reforming organizational climate andbehavior of staff as important and states it clearly in his or her manifests increases the possibility including suchreform in the comprehensive plans of his or her administration. (2) Refl ecting the vision of reform to the planleads to the introduction of new system and facilitates the behavioral change of the staff. (3) When the missionsand visions of the administrative organizations are mentioned clearly in the comprehensive plans, it increases thepossibility that items on the reform of organizational climates and behavioral change of staff are specifi ed in theplan. Specifying these items may enhance communication among the staff to improve their performance.
