This research was carried out at the vocational campus Harapan Bersama Polytechnic in 11 study programs with 177 participants. This research used qualitative method. The data were collected using questionnaires and interviews. The results of the questionnaire analysis show that the highest cause of anxiety is non-teacher feedbacks and the solution to overcome the anxiety problem is individual preferences. In addition, based on the interview analysis, the cause of anxiety was the influence of regional dialect spoken in northern Java coastal areas (Tegal, Brebes, Slawi, Pemalang, Bumiayu, Cirebon).

Effective global collaboration hinges on understanding cultural nuances, notably evident in Japan's organizational dynamics. While often perceived as hierarchical, Japanese structures defy simplistic categorization, as revealed by this qualitative study led by a French scholar. By interviewing Japanese and Western researchers, the research navigates through discordant perspectives, challenging conventional Western views. While some uphold a top-down structure, others advocate for a more egalitarian interpretation, reflecting Japan's nuanced reality. Central to this exploration is deference, shaping interactions and decision-making in Japanese workplaces through linguistic and non-verbal cues. This deference emphasizes mutual respect and collaboration rather than solely denoting power dynamics. Moreover, collective decision-making, a cornerstone of Japanese organizational culture, fosters ownership and commitment among team members, contrasting with Western hierarchical models. In summary, this research illuminates Japan's complex organizational dynamics, highlighting the importance of cultural reflexivity in fostering effective intercultural collaborations. Understanding nuances like deference and collective decision-making is crucial for navigating the complexities of global partnerships and overcoming misinterpretations.
