Abstract

本論文は、育児休業施策と短時間勤務施策を利用する育児中の女性正社員を対象とし、 それぞれの施策効果がいかなる状況で得られるのかについて検討することを目的とする。 分析は、フルサンプル・育児休業施策利用者・短時間勤務施策利用者で行われ、ぞれぞれ のデータセットにおいて両立支援施策を利用することによるコスト意識と(ネガティブパ ス)組織からの支援(WPC、ポジティブパス)といった二つのメカニズムを探索的に検討 した。分析結果、両立支援施策の利用によるコスト認識が組織支援によって解消される模 様と度合いにおいて、育児休業者と短時間勤務者の間に明確な違いがあった。キャリア意 識の高低を示す代理変数として施策利用状況を解釈できるとするならば、本論文はキャリ ア観の違いに応じた組織からの個別的な取り組みについて議論する必要性を支持するもの である。, While the academic attentions toward work-life balance (WLB) practice in Japan have been growing, there are not enough arguments using consensual theoretical framework. This paper depicts the both light and shadow effects attached in WLB practice use from the view of employees’ perception. The results using data from interview and survey shows two unconventional findings. 1) WLB practice use can has negative impact on employee’s perceived WLB and willingness to stay long for a standard Japanese fulltime worker, because of the cost perception which WLB practice use can draws losses of opportunities in internal labor market. 2) There is WLB domain-specific Psychological Contracts (WPC) and its fulfillment can has positive impact on employee outcomes. This study browse there is not the easy way from the introduction of WLB practice to employee outcomes, negative with positive paths coexisting practically and also theoretically. Further study focusing how WLB implement at workplace fit to overall Human Resource functions each other, is needed.
