Abstract
This paper seeks a re–evaluation of the theory of Japanese welfare corporatism as an explanatory construct for the maximizing of worker and union commitment to the objectives of the firm. Drawing upon the evidence of a workplace trade–union survey of shop stewards' and union branch officials' attitudes towards attachment to the firm, promotion expectations, the importance of trade unions and industrial relations, it is concluded that welfare corporatism is far from being a complete explanation of the state of contemporary Japanese industrial relations.
