This article uses microdata from the Japan Institute for Labour Policy and Training to explore the factors that might affect the long working hours and heavy workloads of management staff in Japan. Compared with rank-and-file employees, low-ranking section managers and middle management department managers have longer average working hours, and even when the effects of various attributes were kept constant, it was found that persons in managerial positions worked somewhat longer hours. Further, this article examines differences within management. In order to consider the issue of managing supervisors, who are excluded from the application of company-controlled working hours, this article studies the effects that their freedom to decide their office arrival and departure times has on their heavy workloads, but our analysis found that this factor has no influence. Regardless of whether they can freely decide their office arrival and departure times, many people in managerial positions work long hours, and one might speculate that their exclusion from the application of controlled working hours as managing supervisors has very little meaning in reality, in the sense of any autonomous selection of the length of their working hours. Meanwhile, it was found that personnel-related work such as recruitment and placement affected management’s heavy workloads. This point can be considered an issue that is unique to management and is not seen among rank-and-file employees.
