• W38366946 abstract "Very few qualitative studies based on first-hand research have been conducted regarding gender equity, especially in the public sector in Japan. The qualitative research in thisthesis is therefore unique because it focuses on the public sector employees in a Japanese rural setting. Secondly, this exploratory ethnographic study elucidates the cultural and communication problems connected with gender equity policies in Japan and the social construction of the meaning of gender in a Japanese local government workplace. A feminist conceptual framework was developed to analyse the findings in this thesis, which provides a new interpretation about this social phenomenon.Triangulation was used to enhance the validity of this case study. The major methods used are: (a) open-ended, in-depth interviews with key persons and informal interviews with theemployees of the public sector; (b) two focus group discussions: one of six males and six females from three levels in local government; (c) follow up questionnaires of30 male and female workers; (d) participant observation; (e) an analysis of archives of surveys of concepts on gender equity in local government employees, Chitose citizens, and Hokkaido people. As all public organisations are influenced by national government policies ongender equity, the findings are argued to have some generalisability. Being influenced by the world women's conferences since the 1970s, the Japanese government has enforced several gender equity policies. Nevertheless, some empirical secondary data indicate that working environments have changed little since the new law was introduced (Inoue et al., 1999). Under the umbrella of these national policies, local governments established their own plans; however, no effective implementation of these plans has been observed (Yazawa et al., 1997). One possible reason for this is that few people are aware of what gender discrimination means from a sociological point of view.Indeed, few women in Japan have spoken out about gender inequalities. The other reason is the communication barriers that exist between male and female employees in discussing gender relationships (Banzai, 1999; Hale, 1999; Kashima, 1999). Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify hidden cultural and communication barriers in the Japanese workplace in order to facilitate the implementation of gender equity policies." @default.
