“…These results go against what is commonly expected, with larger inequalities between men and women in Japan than in France [ 55 ]. According to Dupray and Nohara [ 6 ], the overall rate of women in the workplace in Japan is slightly higher than that in France. However, Japanese women’s professional life fluctuates according to their personal life history: they tend to work full-time until the birth of the first child, at which time they withdraw from the labour market.…”

“…For instance, in the World Values Survey [ 2 – 4 ], the Japanese and French differ greatly from each other in collective spirit, individualism, hedonism and adventure. In the Organisation of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD, [ 5 ]), there are again huge differences between both countries in average annual working hours and women’s activities in the workplace [ 6 ]. Moreover, France is a relevant reference for comparison: it is close to the United Kingdom (Kokolakakis et al, 2012, [ 7 ]) which is known to be the inventor of modern sport, and it is strongly influenced by a liking for recreation and ’fun’, such as Californian lifestyle sports, and the consumerist trend [ 8 ].…”

This article aimed to compare the sports participation of populations from two distinct societies with huge cultural differences: France and Japan. At a macro-statistical level and using a societal approach based on two national ad-hoc surveys–in contrast with functionalist and culturalist analyses–it analysed the differences in sports participation between the two populations. The angle adopted for analysing sports participation was that of voraciousness (number and types of sports and physical activities practised). We performed a secondary analysis of a Japanese national ad-hoc survey and a French national ad-hoc survey (quotas sampling, June/July 2016), which reported activities precisely over the preceding 12 months. The two reconstructed samples for comparison concerned people aged between 18 and 70, and 46 PSAs and PSA families, making it possible to evaluate sports participation. The Japanese sample consisted of 2,612 individuals and the French sample of 3,791 individuals. To identify statistically significant differences between the two samples, Fisher’s exact test and bootstrap approaches was used (boot package in R software). Sports participation and voraciousness for sport are higher in the French population than in the Japanese one. For the overall rate of sports practice, there is a difference of 8.2 points (95%CI[6.0;10.3], p<0.001), and the difference concerning the average number of activities practised by practitioners is 1.7 activity (95%CI[1.9;1.5], p<0.001). In both countries, young males have the highest level of sportiness. Age is an important variable with a lower difference between the youngest and oldest age groups for sports participation in Japan than in France: when compared to France, the difference in difference for the rate of no activity is 13.7 points (95%CI[6.3;21.1], p<0.001) and -2.3 activities for the average number of activities among practitioners (95%CI[-3.0;-1.7], p<0.001). Some physical and sports activities (PSAs) are specific to France (e.g. skiing with 12.7 points difference, 95%CI[11.3;14.1], p<0.001) and others to Japan, such as baseball (with 9.8 points difference 95%CI[8.6;11.0], p<0.001) or more traditional PSAs like Japanese calisthenics and radio exercise (at 15.9%). In contrast to France, Japan is still in the process of greatly modernising its sporting tradition as a result of its particular cultural dimensions. We can identify physical and sports activities which are specific to each country, as well as similar activities in the two countries and wider diversification in France. Voraciousness for sport is higher in France than in Japan. In both countries, the youngest age groups and men have the highest level of sportiness. Yet, the difference between the youngest and the oldest group is smaller in Japan due to the pressure of work.

“…These attitudinal reactions are a consequence of HRM strategy in each country, but are, more fundamentally, conditioned by a societal logic which produces social groups in an original way. In this regard, the family structure and the gender division of work are of prime importance in generating such differences, as this sector is dominated by the female population (Dupray & Nohara, 2013). Thus, they are at the same time the products of and the "resources" used by the call centers' business strategy.…”

Sur la base d’une étude comparative France-Japon, ce texte s’interroge sur les relations entre l’intention de départ volontaire et les conditions de travail/emploi dans les centres d’appels. Une telle comparaison du nouveau secteur de service permet de mettre en évidence les ressemblances et dissemblances des perceptions par les salariés de leurs conditions de travail/emploi ainsi que des manières de mobiliser les ressources humaines. La nature du travail en centres d’appels tend certes à imposer partout le même type de réactions humaines. Mais les perceptions/attitudes peuvent être très différentes en fonction des groupes sociaux ou des contextes nationaux. Les managements doivent donc prendre en compte ces différences, pour construire leurs propres modèles –sociétaux– de flexibilité et d’efficacité.

Basé sur des enquêtes originales, cet article vise à qualifier les espaces professionnels des infirmières en France et au Japon. Il montre comment et pourquoi ces espaces professionnels sont historiquement et socio-économiquement construits de manière différente. La notion de « conventions », ici conçues comme des systèmes d’attentes réciproques, fournit la clef interprétative. Au Japon, cet espace correspond au « monde domestique » : y dominent les valeurs de proximité, la polyvalence et les soins relationnels (le care ). En France, cet espace relève du « monde industriel » ; en découle la primauté accordée à la spécialisation technique qu’accompagnent des séjours hospitaliers denses. L’analyse de l’exercice libéral confirme l’existence de ces « mondes » différents. Toutefois, les enquêtes montrent que le choix pour un exercice libéral, au domicile des patients, s’accompagne d’une modification, plus ou moins pérenne, du rapport au travail et au temps. Ainsi, l’interprétation des interruptions de carrière infirmière (fréquentes et longues au Japon, rares et brèves en France) permet de mettre au jour les évolutions en cours ; au Japon, elles sont partiellement expliquées par la catastrophe de Fukushima.
