Doctoral Dissertation Research in Sociology

这是博士学位论文研究计划拨款项目下的一个奖项。这将是一项关于工作态度的研究，对比了日本和美国男性和女性员工的群体取向，基于对现有8302名调查受访者的数据集的统计分析。回归和通径分析等统计技术将应用四种概念性方法：文化主义理论、工人态度和行为的文化权变模型、小池百合子的技能获得模型和劳动控制的冲突模型。这项研究将有助于性别和工作角色的社会学，以及日本和美国的比较研究，可能有助于美国的产业政策。除了这项研究将获得的科学成果外，这一奖项还将对一位非常有前途的学生完成博士论文的研究提供实质性的帮助。从而有助于未来科学人才的培养和下一代社会学家的深入培养。

This is an award under the Grants for Improving Doctoral Dissertation Research program. It will be a study of work attitudes, contrasting male and female workers' group orientation in Japan and the United States, based on statistical analysis of an existing dataset of 8,302 survey respondents. Statistical techniques such as regression and path analysis will apply four conceptual approaches: culturalist theory, the cultural contingency model of worker attitudes and behavior, Koike's model of skill acquisition, and a conflict model of labor control. This research will contribute to the sociology of gender and work roles, as well as to comparative studies of Japan and the United States, potentially contributing to American industrial policy. In addition to the scientific gains to be achieved by the research, this award will materially assist a highly promising student in completing research for the Ph.D. dissertation. Thus it contributes to future scientific manpower and the thorough training of the next generation of sociologists.
