While some writers account for Japan's postwar economic "miracle"
in terms of a distinctively Japanese, traditional model of social
organization, the writers of this study consider Japan's
technological growth to have been accompanied by convergence toward
modernized social organization. The authors test both of these
theoretical models. Their data are derived from a nine-month period
of observation, analysis of company records, interviews of
personnel, and questionnaire responses from production, staff, and
managerial employees in three main Japanese firms. Other firms were
visited more briefly. The analysis shows that the most
distinctively Japanese variables have less causal impact on
performance within a firm than do more universal variables such as
employee status, sex, and job satisfaction. The authors test both
