Analysis Of Akiko 's Developmental Stages And Processes

Mr. Higashi has a responsibility to his employees (which include the Japanese workers) to ensure that equality prevails in the workplace and the hierarchical, masculine structure is preserved. As detailed in section 3, Japanese culture is about hard work, loyalty, and honour. If Kelly were to take her concerns directly to CLAIR without first attempting to resolve them with Mr. Higashi, she may inadvertently bring shame to Mr. Higashi and cause him to lose face (Lewicki, 2011).

The division of labor is a complex phenomenon that is characterized by varying aspects of an individual’s social connection to the society in which they reside. The Division of labor is a broad process that affects and influences many aspects of life such as political, judicial, and administrative functions (Bratton & Denham, 2014). Two of the main sociological theorists, Karl Marx and Emile Durkheim, had different understandings of the notion about the division of labor. This topic has been contested and debated by many theorists but this paper is going to focus on how Emile Durkheim and Karl Marx views this topic. Karl Marx views the division of labor as a process that alienates the individual from their work (Llorente, 2006). Marx also views the division of labor as a way for the capitalist bourgeoisie to take advantage of the wage labor of the proletariat. Emile Durkheim identifies with Marx in the economic sense that the division of labor furthers the rationalization and bureaucratization of labor, but differs in that the division of labor provides individuals in society with social solidarity and ensures their connection to society. This paper is going to reflect on some of the aspects in which Emile Durkheim and Karl Marx view the division of labor, while showing some of the similarities and differences between the two theorists conception of the topic.

Heather, one of the employees, showed her resentment towards her supervisor because of not promoting her. She attributed his boss’s decision directly to the notion that he doesn’t like foreigners (Heather is Chinese) and completely

So how do all these changes in society and family affect the division of household labor?

The senior director of Ottawa Valley Food Products, R.J. Jennings, is having issues with his replacement administrative assistant. His former assistant was very outgoing and willing to work long hours in order to please her boss and to get the work done in a timely manner. When she took an early retirement, the company hired a replacement assistant for Mr. Jennings. Over her time with the company the new assistant, Mary Gregory, was at times incapable of the workload she had been given, which her predecessor had no trouble with. Not only was Mary incompetent at times, she also seemed to have no sense of proper business etiquette.

The treatment of Karla by her coworkers is the main surface problem because she seemed to be avoided by her coworkers who do not invite her to social gatherings after work. I assume that she is not treated as a “social buddy” may be because she is African American or may be it could be a result of her work ethic. It is the job of the manager (Daniel) to address this issue immediately before it goes far, to avoid creating an unfriendly or/and hostile work environment that might affect the productivity.

Through her almost twenty years of service as manager, she has obtained many experiences that have shaped her into the manger she is today. She has come across many different forms of leadership. Some people

Division of labor of the home is regarded in many different ways. Willingly taking on their assigned roles, numerous families abide by these assignments, still; other marriages want more equality in this division of household chores. A lot of these tasks can be strenuous and demanding. The responsibilities that come with these daily routines can also be life threatening if not carefully performed. A few of the duties in the day-to-day trade of maintaining a household include things such as cooking, cleaning, and caring for children. Division of labor among races is also different. Cultures influence how these roles will be assigned and completed. First traditional Mexican American women take on the household chores with great pride.

     Vicky must also take into account the duty to her boss, Wendy. First, Vicky must suggest that quick temper of Wendy’s be abolished because animosity between Wendy and her staff members may lead to a broader conflict. Also such behavior could lead the company as a whole to be less productive, because with Wendy’s quick temper it will be hard for staff members to share ideas. Sharing ideas between members of staff makes a company more successful.

Sociologist, Emile Durkheim would answer this question with his theory on “Division of Labor”. Just 100 years ago, the structure of the family was quite different than what we see today. In the early 1900, predominantly agricultural, the father was the sole breadwinner and the mother worked in the home and tended to the children. The division of labor was based on gender and it was centered on the home, all members having a particular job to do which was an important part of the family’s survival. This provided a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day. Sociologist, Karl Marx shared a similar view in his theory of an individual reaching his or her “Species Being” which is an individual’s shared commonality with others, finding his or her place in society. Why the change? The Industrial Revolution separated the workplace from the home and altered the division of labor between men and women.

Culture differences between Nomura and Lehman that can be found in this situation is the way that Japanese treat their female employees is different from male employees. Nomura train new hiring employees by separate them by gender and teach women about the thing that does not proper such as how to serve tea or strictly about their dress in in the workplace. This can display different cultures between them some reasons might be that in Japanese culture they consider that women doesn't have ability to work as much as men. Japanese culture at work is very strictly on how the employees behave not only in their work hours but all times while they are working on the company that is different from the national culture that focuses on work more than personal behavior or how they dress. Even if Nomura said he wanted to blend two cultures together but it's look like he still use Japanese culture as the main culture. Moreover, Lehman said that Nomura process is slower than when the employee worked in his manage.

In this case “Kelly’s Assignment in Japan”, we have an example of expatriation poorly managed and unprepared. Different cultures, customs seem very important between Japanese and Westerners. Added to this barrier, we also not that there

The managers were also not trained properly and maintained a centralized management approach. An HMSI manager was quoted in the statement saying, “The Japanese do not understand the workers’ language.” Management failed to understand the ideas brought to them by workers, “could not understand the organizational working from the employees’ point of view.” It was said that the Japanese failed to give Indian managers enough power to solve problems. The Indian managers were production specialists, who had very little understanding of industrial relations issues.

Kelly’s company put her in an unrealistic situation of requiring an answer within two days of extending her the position abroad. Kelly’s company should not have assumed because she had great success in business relationships in London and Germany, which have similar cultures to the United States, it would have implied she would have been just as successful in Japan. The company lacked in preparing her in the customs and cultural ways of the Japanese, instead only considering the financial compensation as enough motivating factor. The company should have provided training of Japanese for the family, assisted in Joe’s networking in Tokyo to locate a job and should have been readily available for Kelly’s family with any questions and provide timely follow-up. Kelly lacked in doing her due diligence into the Japanese culture and fully understand what it would take to move her family abroad. A little research on her part into Japanese culture, customs and etiquette would have provided her with forethought on how to handle herself in Japanese

However, while comparing the emerging forms of division of labour in modern society among different sociologists, it has been seen that all of them have their individual and differentiating view.
