If securing the manpower required to carry out certain jobs and allocating the work are defined as the “employment portfolio,” one has to say that the mechanism behind this has not been adequately identified. Previous studies present employment typologies using indicators such as skills, but determining the specific content of jobs (the scope of jobs or roles required) in advance is the prerequisite for this. However, the results of an analysis of Company A revealed the following: (i) Company A has a manpower calculation standard called “the man-hour standard,” which is used to determine the number of personnel in stores and specific sales departments; (ii) this standard is constantly revised in order to achieve profit targets; (iii) as a result of the above, regular employees are allocated to each store as a given, but it is not possible for all jobs at the store to be carried out using these workers alone, so part-timers are also used within the scope of the budget allocated to each store; and (iv) the employment portfolio is organized based on the results of this, but the roles, scope of jobs and skills required of non-regular employees is determined after the fact. In other words, it is vital to construct a theory based on the actual situation, unlike existing studies, which explain the employment portfolio in terms of skills, etc.
