In recent years, the management of Japanese companies has been responding to changes in the surrounding business environment characterized by increasing and inevitable globalization.1 Amongst such changes, attracting particular interest are those in human resource management. This is because the human resources are the most difficult among various management resources to move across borders, and as a result the management of human resources is strongly influenced by their respective regional social conventions and culture and thus varies substantially across regions. From that standpoint, a country’s readiness for globalization may be measured by changes in the management of human resources. Can a change be seen in the commitment to long-term employment and of the promote-from-within policy that have featured the human resource management of Japanese companies for a long time? Of the corporate professions, scientists and engineers are the occupations in which standardization of jobs and a switch to an external labor market are considered to be the easiest. This paper explores how such “externalization” progressed in their employment, how the human resource management of companies has changed in relation to them, and what kind of changes can be observed regarding these groups’ perception of their job and company accordingly.
