Work Attitudes and Values

Some Japanese and Indonesian staff members referred to similarities between Japanese and Indonesian work attitudes and values. The above-referenced Japanese staff member with work experiences in African countries explained that in Indonesia, it was possible to use “a soft approach.” According to him, if there are problems, “it works to say [it] softly, or indirectly through a third person […], which is similar to Japan.” By contrast, in Africa , it was necessary to precisely point out what was wrong, which sounded rude from a Japanese viewpoint.

Respondent:Well, so, see, I find it tiring in Africa.
