The purpose of this study is to investigate whether employees' job satisfaction has affected labor productivity.Using a unique data set which comprises survey data on about 60000 Japanese union workers from 1990 to 2004, we find a positive and significant relationship between Job Satisfaction and per capita operating profits which is used as a proxy variable of labor productivity. Concretely, it was shown that if the company succeeded in raising average Job Satisfaction 0.1 point, per capita operating profit goes up by 1.48 million Japanese yen. In order to control potential simultaneity problems, we implement Two Stage Least Squares estimation and use marriage rate as an Instrumental Variable.

Mergers of regional banks through pure holding companies have been increasing since the latter 1990s. Such mergers were examined for this study, with emphasis on determinants of such mergers and banks’ post-merger business performance.A cause of the increase in mergers is that, in addition to the conventional methods of mergers, a ban on the method using a bank holding company was lifted in 1998. In advance of empirical analysis, we reviewed changes in bank mergers after lifting of the ban. We categorized merger methods into (1) business consolidation, (2) combination by establishing a holding company, and (3) purchase of a bank by an existing holding company, which revealed that many mergers in recent years used the second method.Subsequently, we examined determinants of becoming a merging bank and a merged bank. Our estimation revealed that a regional bank with low local market power and particularly intense competition with large banks was more likely to become a merging bank. The results for efficiency suggest that a bank that had raised profitability through a merger was less likely to become a merged bank. Another finding was that a bank with a high baddebt ratio was more likely to participate in a merger as a merged bank.Additionally, we divided and assessed the sample to ascertain whether the form of merger and other conditions created differences in the subsequent business performance. First, results suggest that, as forms of merger, business consolidation was more likely to promote corporate downsizing than establishing a holding company. Secondly, analysis of the holding company method performed by dividing sellers and buyers revealed an increase in buyers’ net interest spread and sellers’ rationalization effects. Differences between mergers within an area and between areas included net interest spread growth in the former and active restructuring in the latter.

The purpose of this study was to describe how the volunteers who participated in the Nagano Olympic Games think about their own activities. Data was gathered from questionnaires obtained from one thousand and sixty-four volunteers in the Nagano Olympic Games. The data was analyzed by a process known as principal component analysis. (1) The volunteers describe mental reward, value of life, mental conditions, behavioral conditions, social contribution and personal criticism. These were six factors extracted as the major images of their own activities. (2) They considered mental reward, value of life, mental conditions, behavioral conditions and social contribution positively where as they reacted against personal criticism. (3) Scores of mental reward, value of life and mental conditions were higher in males than in females. (4) Scores of mental reward, mental conditions, behavioral conditions, social contribution and personal criticism related to their age. The younger generations image score higher on mental reward and personal criticism. The older generation think they need good behavioral conditions in order to receive social contributions. These results would be useful in training and preparing for volunteers.
