Abstract

This study aims to analyze the understanding of Japanese work culture among prospective Indonesian migrant workers to Japan who participate in training programs at LPK Wisma Berkah Sejahtera. The focus of the study includes the forms of work culture training provided, the participants’ level of understanding of Japanese work culture values, and the factors that hinder the process of cultural understanding. This research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methods. Qualitative data were obtained through structured non-participant observation and in-depth interviews with instructors and training participants, while quantitative data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire measuring five indicators of Japanese work culture: work discipline, teamwork and communication, politeness and respect, honesty and responsibility, and hard work and dedication. The results indicate that LPK Wisma Berkah Sejahtera has implemented Japanese work culture training in a relatively comprehensive manner through chorei activities, integrated Japanese language learning, interview training (mensetsu), dedicated Japanese culture classes, and interpersonal skills training. The participants’ level of understanding ranges from moderate to good, with the highest levels observed in the aspects of honesty and responsibility, politeness and respect, and teamwork and communication. However, gaps in general understanding of Japanese work culture remain, along with several obstacles, including the predominance of theoretical training materials, language barriers, differences in communication styles, mental and physical preparedness, and limited instructor resources.

Notes for Usage of Generative AI in Scientific Writing

The following guidance refers only to the writing process, and not to the use of AI tools to analyse and draw insights from data as part of the research process:

Generative AI and AI-assisted technologies should only be used in the writing process to improve the readability and language of the manuscript.
The technology must be applied with human oversight and control and authors should carefully review and edit the result, as AI can generate authoritative-sounding output that can be incorrect, incomplete or biased.
Authors are ultimately responsible and accountable for the contents of the work.
Authors must not list or cite AI and AI-assisted technologies as an author or co-author on the manuscript since authorship implies responsibilities and tasks that can only be attributed to and performed by humans.
The use of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in scientific writing must be declared by adding a statement at the end of the manuscript when the paper is first submitted.
We do not permit the use of Generative AI or AI-assisted tools to create or alter images in submitted manuscripts.
The use of generative AI or AI-assisted tools in the production of artwork such as for graphical abstracts is not permitted. The use of generative AI in the production of cover art may in some cases be allowed, if the author obtains prior permission from the journal editor and publisher, can demonstrate that all necessary rights have been cleared for the use of the relevant material, and ensures that there is correct content attribution.
