Abstract

Personnel management becomes important in Japan’s farming as the number of hired labor is increasing. The two features of current farm employment are the labor shortage caused by aging of operators and reduced family labor, and emerging corporate farming under deregulations of farm policies. Survey on floriculture shows that the operators endeavor to maintain friendly relationships with the employees and harmonious atmosphere among them to keep workers longer at the expense of work efficiency. Management methods achieving the efficiency and good personnel relationships simultaneously are required. Establishment of sound business organization guaranteeing high quality of working life including competitive income and career advancement is needed to recruit skillful regular workers. Educational programs on personnel management and work regulations for farmers are recommended.
