出版社：Japan Institute for Labour Policy and Training
摘要：This article deals primarily with two analyses. The first is an analysis of factorscontributing to uncompensated overtime, failure or inability to take paidleave, and coerced resignation, all of which are frequently cited as labor lawviolations, and the correlations between each of these issues and business performance.The second examines which issues, including the above labor lawviolations as well as workplace harassment and so forth, are most crucial inshaping employees’ perceptions of their employers as “black companies,” definedas rogue companies or those that habitually flout labor standards, whichhave increasingly been recognized as a social issue. The results of the analysesindicated that while harassment and unreasonable quotas enhanced the perceptionof companies as being “black,” the most clearly identifiable factors wereuncompensated overtime, failure or inability to take paid leave, and coercedresignation. In addition, it was found that uncompensated overtime had a statisticallysignificant positive effect on workplaces’ ordinary income growthover the past three years, showing that over the short term, companies wererewarded for violating the rules with commensurate profits.
