Journal Title: Journal of Intercultural Management - Year 2012, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
There is no doubt that Japanese companies are characterized by specificorganizational culture and management practices. One might ask to what an extentPolish employees of companies with Japanese capital adapt to the promoted practices.I will attempt to give answer to this question, based on the results of the researchconducted with employees in four selected manufacturing companies. The importantcriterion is the size of the company, which affects the efficiency of generating desiredpatterns among employees. The adaptation level of workers to these patterns can beobserved at the level of employee attitudes that express a partial or full identificationwith current company practices.This paper aims to answer the question to what an extend Polish workers employedcompanies with Japanese capital, present on Polish market, adapt to the practicesimplemented in these organisations. The data used come from a PhD dissertation,and was collected within the time from October 2008 to May 2009 and reverified in2011.
