Paternalism

Japanese: 温情主義 - おんじょうしゅぎ
Paternalism

A method of labor management that seeks to stabilize labor-management relations by explaining the relationship between employers and employees as a cooperative relationship based on the employer's warmth and the employee's loyalty, rather than as a class relationship in which their interests are fundamentally opposed. For this reason, employers implement in-house welfare measures for employees and provide personal consideration. This policy originated with enlightened factory owners such as Robert Owen, but it was not until monopoly capitalism was established that it was systematically implemented. During this period, labor organizations rapidly developed and their rebellion increased, and large corporations were able to implement various welfare measures by obtaining monopoly profits. In Japan, after World War I, the relationship between employers and employees was likened to that between parents and children, and this type of labor management policy became widespread. However, the idea of ​​partnership, which involves working together to improve productivity and sharing the results, is now emphasized.

Japanese:

使用者と労働者との関係を、その利害が基本的に相対立する階級関係としてではなく、使用者の温情と従業員の忠誠心に基づく協調関係として説明し、労使関係の安定を図ろうとする労務管理の一方法。このため、使用者は従業員に対して企業内福利厚生策を実施するとともに、個人的な配慮を行う。この政策はロバート・オーエンのような開明的工場主に由来するものであるが、これが体系的に実施されるようになるのは、独占資本主義が確立してからである。この時代になると労働者の組織化が急速に進展し、その反抗が増大するとともに、大企業が独占利潤を獲得することによって、各種の福利厚生策を実施することができるようになった。日本においては、第一次世界大戦以降、使用者と労働者との関係が親と子との関係に当てはめられ、この種の労務管理政策が広く普及するようになった。しかし現在では、生産性の向上に協力し、その成果を共有するとするパートナーシップ思想が重要視されている。
