Abstract

This study aims to specify a common writing goal that corresponds to the basic physical strength of workplace writing. To reflect the situation and context of the job discourse community, 12 job-related writing self-development books used by office workers in real society were analyzed. Approximately 300 people across the country participated in a questionnaire survey on this information, and the implicit theory for workplace writing was explored by performing a common factor analysis on the questionnaire responses. The results demonstrated that the writing ability commonly required for workplace writing can be divided into content related to “logic and concise,” “idea composition,” and “writing structure and form.” This study is meaningful as it provides a foundation for more practical workplace writing education for the following reasons: (1) it was derived based on the content required for workplace writing used in job sites, and (2) it revealed a more specific level of detail than the existing discussions on workplace writing.
