This paper elucidates the ways of working and consciousness of keiyaku-shain (directly-employed full-time workers on fixed-term contracts, excluding those who have been reemployed after reaching the mandatory retirement age), who have not been the subject of many labor studies conducted hitherto. Firstly, when their ways of working and consciousness were compared with those of workers in other forms of employment and work, the characteristics that emerged were (i) there are many who are involuntarily employed as keiyaku-shain; (ii) they have a strong sense of dissatisfaction in regard to their wages, perhaps because although the nature of their duties is similar to those of regular employees, they do not receive a commensurate level of pay; and (iii) there are many who wish to transition to being regular employees. Furthermore, when keiyaku-shain were classified into four categories on the basis of their attributes, the following characteristics emerged: (a) specialist keiyaku-shain face relatively few problems; (b) young keiyaku-shain have a strong desire to transition to being regular employees; (c) keiyaku-shain who are supplementing the family finances face the problems of low wages and wage dissatisfaction; and (d) keiyaku-shain in the subsistence category are compelled to work as keiyaku-shain, due to the harsh environment in regard to reemployment and changing jobs. This suggests that individual measures are required, which focus on young keiyaku-shain, keiyaku-shain who are working to supplement the family finances, and mature keiyaku-shain, respectively, in addition to implementing general measures.
