Perceived organizational support for satisfying autonomy needs of Japanese white‐collar workers

Abstract

Examines the differences in strength of autonomy needs and perceived organizational support for satisfying autonomy needs between workers in Japanese and US‐affiliated companies. A total of 340 Japanese white‐collar workers in the Tokyo area participated in this study. The results of multiple regression analysis showed that white‐collar workers in US‐affiliated companies perceived organizational support for satisfying autonomy needs as higher than their counterparts in Japanese companies. However, there were no significant relationships between company affiliation (Japanese vs US) and perceived importance scores. The company affiliation was not related to the gaps between importance and support scores, either. The results suggest that both Japanese and US‐affiliated companies in Japan are currently not able to meet autonomy needs, which are emerging in society as cultural values shift from collectivism to individualism.
