“…Historically, Japanese employees and their organisations often have more than a contractual relationship, almost like a bond bound by fate (Nakane, 1967). This is often reflected in how Japanese workers present themselves to others, often stating that they belong to Toyota rather than working for Toyota (Rarick, 1994). This idea of loyalty and belongingness to one's organisation can be traced back to Confucianism, which has had a profound influence on the philosophy to which Japanese people live by today (Kawai, 2009).…”

The objective of this preprint is to propose and test a theoretical model on the relations between overwork climate, workaholism, exploitation, and turnover intentions. We aim to understand why some Japanese workers overwork themselves to the point of exhaustion, and in extreme cases, experience karoshi (overwork death). Furthermore, we investigate whether collectivism exacerbates workaholism among Japanese workers and hinders their ability to escape exploitative work environments.

Introduction: Classical studies worldwide give a new dimension of how religious values motivated an individual's menstrual practice in the sociological framework and psychological understanding of social actions against social barriers in this issue. Religion argues that the law of women's social conduct and dominance is becoming a social taboo on menstruation issues. Religious structure and conviction decide a woman's path from menarche to menopause, depending on society's pattern. Methodology: The discussion is entirely based on secondary sources available in esteem journals and web pages. Discussion: Menstruation has been condemned by all religions, which has led to restrictions on sociocultural activity during this period. The assumption is that menstrual blood is "dirty" that girls and women will bring "bad luck" to the counterpart of the society. The secrecy and shame associated with menstruation and assumptions about certain behaviours on menstruation activities are among the themes explored in the different regions worldwide. Conclusion: Isolation, exclusion from religious practices, and sexual abstinence are the most commonly used tactics. Women are still prohibited from entering temples in today's religions. Both religions share the age-old belief in spiritual impurity, which does not seem to go away. Thus, menstruation is a taboo subject in today's culture.

“…The consideration is essential, because cultural construction of nature is the sublime power that informs tourists´ gaze upon what nature is (Urry, 1995;Eder & Ritter, 1996). Taoism, Buddhism and Shintoism comprise the Japanese religious and cultural background (Rarick, 1994;Hartz, 1993). The fundamental worldview of Taoist and Buddhist is that nature and human are a unity rather than separate beings (Lee & Prebensen, 2014;Graef, 1990).…”

Nature-based tourism continues to gain importance globally. Research on sustainability claims that disconnection between nature and humanity may contribute to the environmental problems that we face in the 21 st century. It is, thus, quintessential to better understand the underlying variables for sustainable behaviour in a tourism context. Research suggests scales on nature relatedness (NRS) and connectedness to nature (CNS) to better understand people's attitudes towards nature. The current paper tests the applicability of these scales in a Japanese tourism setting. The scales seem, to a certain degree, appropriate in a Japanese tourism context, however they may need further refinement. In contrast to the conventionally recognized differences, which focus on the physical aspects of the human-nature relationship (relatedness) and affective community with nature (connectedness), relatedness and connectedness appear to have different dimensions used in the East Asian context. However, the paper shows that further tests in both Eastern and Western cultures should be done, with a particular focus on the dimension `active in nature´ and how this should be understood and treated. According to the strong tendency of developing and selling outdoor activities among nature based destinations combined with the strong increase of East Asian tourists, i.e., in Norway, further researching and testing of these aspects on the East Asian cultural values is recommended and directions are provided.
