How do the Japanese instill such high work ethics into their workers?

You’ll never see a GM/Ford or Chyrsler employee overworking to the point to death.

TOKYO – A Japanese labor bureau has ruled that one of Toyota’s top car engineers died from working too many hours, the latest in a string of such findings in a nation where extraordinarily long hours for some employees has long been the norm.

The man who died was aged 45 and had been under severe pressure as the lead engineer in developing a hybrid version of Toyota’s blockbuster Camry line, said Mikio Mizuno, the lawyer representing his wife. In the two months up to his death, the man averaged more than 80 hours of overtime per month, according to Mizuno.

He regularly worked nights and weekends, was frequently sent abroad and was grappling with shipping a model for the pivotal North American International Auto Show in Detroit when he died of ischemic heart disease in January 2006.

The Japanese have always been a very loyal and proud race. They feel a great deal of pride in their achievements and accomplishments and up until they became North Americanized were the example of what a country should be like if it wanted to succeed. The North American worker comes to work late or has a buddy punch in for him whereas the Japanese worker shows up early for exercise & fitness at work then starts working with a clear mind and strong body. North American workers come to work at times either drunk or stoned and know that they can’t loose their job cause the union will protect them. The Japanese worker would never disrespect their employer, themselves or their family with such behaviour. The North American worker is always trying to find ways to get out of doing work whereas the Japanese worker is always trying to do more. Yes if only I could hire a bunch of Japanese workers my business would be so much better than it is now. But since I can’t I have to do most of the work myself since no one else cares about the company like the owner unless of course you operate in Japan.

If we go back to anciet times and look at the Samurai they commited seppuka and later the WWI and II kamikaze fighter pilots commited suicide by flying into ships while their planes were packed with explosives and had no landing gear. Talk about a commitment.
