Description

While Japanese firms hire and train new graduates as long-term employees, approximately 30% of the newly hired graduates quit jobs within the first three years. However, after which they are often unable to obtain the opportunity of a better job change. Therefore, the anxiety and stress experienced by young full-time employees has increased. In addition, in recent years, as the recruitment procedure of companies have been becoming strict, youth employment consciousness has been increasing. This study examines factors affecting young employees' prospects and factors promoting job commitment by applying a probit model and ordinary least squares (OLS) to the 2003 data on full-time employees under 35, and shows the following: 1)women and men view job stability differently; 2)commitment to firms suffers due to lack of communication, inappropriate job placement, and feelings of inadequacy. It also reduces their willingness to continue working in the same company; 3)men report more work problems but are more committed to jobs than women. This study has suggested that it is important to focus on the problems of young employees, and how to tackle work and to educate young employees in each workplace unit.
