Masayo Fujimoto (Doshisha University)

Paper short abstract:

This report describes the phenomenon of a high mobility society. In the societies where the external labor market is developed, even factory workers, employees are given several choices that exist outside the organization. Therefore, administrators struggle to keep employees of all level.

Paper long abstract:

This report describes the relationship between organizations and members in high mobility society. This study describes the relationship between organizations and members in two different high mobility societies. Survey areas as a highly mobility society are the Silicon Valley of the U.S. and the Shēnzhèn of China. Industrial relations in high mobility societies assumes turnover and dismissal. For this reason, it is very difficult to maintain competent employees in highly educated societies such as Silicon Valley, where people with high skills gather. In addition to preparing expensive remuneration, managers pay attention to many things such as preparing interesting projects, permanent residence rights, insurance, family educational environment and so on. Then, even factory workers who do not have special skills change their job in a large group, and the work will be delayed. So reducing turnover is an important role for managers. For this, they consider many things, such as raising salaries, giving jobs worthwhile and improving welfare benefits. Employees have the possibility of unemployment due to the contract term is not extended. However, they are not only in a weak position. Administrators struggle to improve stability for members attracted to external incentives by limited resources within the organization. Therefore, when the external labor market develops as the external environment of the organization, and people both inside and outside of the organizations are mobile, there are circumstances where employees can select an organization regardless to their academic background or skills.
