Call for Papers
“Changes and Continuities in Japan’s Employment System and Human Resource Management”
A special issue of “Contemporary
Japan”
Guest
Editor Dr.
Parissa Haghirian Professor
of Japanese Management Sophia
University, Japan
The Japanese
economy faced numerous challenges
in the past decades. Among them are severe shocks
caused by natural disasters and
by domestic and international financial crises, but
also long-term fundamental transformations
like demographic change, globalization and
digitalization as well as economic
reforms addressing the labor market, corporate
governance and employment
practices. In this special
issue, we want to take stock of
how the changes in the economic, regulatory,
technological and international
environment affected the Japanese employment system
(system level), and the
recruitment, management and development of human
resources (management level)
since the year 2000. Papers may either address the
system or management level.
We aim at an overall balance between system and
management level analyses. Guiding
questions are:
- To what extent did adjustments occur?
- To what extent did they differ across industries and firms?
- To what extent do we see continuity?
Multi-disciplinary
perspectives and a wide range of research
methodologies (such as literature
reviews, qualitative or quantitative studies) are
welcome. All papers (max 6000
words each) will go through a double blind peer-review
process. Keywords Japanese Employment System, Japanese
Labor Markets,
Japanese Management, Japanese Human Resource
Management, Lifetime Employment. Deadline for manuscript
transmissions: July 31, 2019 Please send your manuscript to
