0

Actually speaking, there doesn’t seem to be much difference in the American and Japanese styles of motivation. The difference in only in the way it is presented.

Values in Japan: (A)

1)      National Service through Industry

2)      Fairness

3)      Harmony and co-operation

4)      Struggle for betterment

5)      Courtesy and humility

6)      Adjustment and assimilation

7)      Gratitude

Values in America: (B)

1)      A belief in the best

2)      A belief in the importance of the details of execution

3)      A belief in the importance of people as individuals

4)      A belief in superior quality and service

5)      A belief that most members of the organization must be innovators

6)      A belief in the importance of informality to enhance communication

7)      Explicit belief in and recognition of the importance of economic growth and profits

 

No picture of contrast, as revealed above in the 2 lists of 7 values each, could have been more vivid. B-7 and A-1, B-1 and A-4, B-3 and A-3, -5, -7 look quite similar. The only difference is in the language. Now, considering the management styles and their impact on work attitudes;
