Abstract

This research focuses on Japanese-owned overseas subsidiaries which positively develop global production and utilize native employees in the local factories. Here, awareness concerning teamwork in daily production activity is caught as a group process, and the internal structure is considered. The research purpose is to verify the awareness difference from a global aspect based on religion and national wealth. Research was conducted at automobile and electrical industry plants in the USA, UK, Mexico, India, Thailand, China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Germany and Japan between 2000 and 2006. In this research, the religions are classified into Eastern and Western. Eastern religions consist of Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam, and Western religions consist of Christianity in the wide sense, Protestantism, Catholicism, Roman Catholicism, and the state religion in Britain. National wealth is defined as net gross domestic product per person and is divided into three groups; US$30,000 or more; US$5,000 or more; and US$5,000 or less. Finally, the following hypotheses were accepted through statistical tests and multivariate analyses including discriminant analysis, principal component analysis and cluster analysis. "Teamwork awareness is influenced by religion, and differs between the East and West." "Teamwork awareness is influenced by national wealth, and differs depending on the level of national wealth." "The task orientation and people orientation which form teamwork awareness are influenced by neither religion nor national wealth, and are divided in each respectively."
