A Comparative Study of Industrial Relations among Korea, the United States and Japan with Special Reference to Worker's Propensity to Move

In an earlier study Whitehill and Takezawa found the American worker's higher propensity to move from one employer to another as compared to the Japanese system of life time employment. Their cultural continuum checklist was administered to 1467 Korean workers. This study finds that in spite of the East-Asian geographical and cultural proximity shared between Korea and Japan, the Korean workers are more willing than Japanese to move freely from one firm to another, as vindicated by the Korean industry's higher average monthly separation rates.
