 note = {This study elucidates how to effectively improve production workers' passion, pride, and job satisfaction in Japanese automotive industry. Data were gathered through a survey on Japanese automotive industry. The eff1ectiveness is analyzed from the perspectives of organizational factors (i.e., relationship with boss and co-workers, information sharing policy, etc.) and Japanese production style (i.e., being thorough with the basic production method and Kaizen activity). Additionally, we compare the effectiveness between medium-sized companies and small companies. Automotive industry is the leading industry in Japan and medium- and small-sized companies play an important role in supplying automotive parts. Therefore, it is important to study the production workers' awareness in these companies. The study also has practical implications. Medium-sized companies should support superiors in building a better relationship with their subordinates, such as providing leadership training program and opportunities to communicate fluently. Small companies should focus on building better coworkers' relationship, such as conducting regular lunch meeting and Kaizen activity. Medium- and small-sized companies have limited management resources compared with large companies. However, they might improve workers' passion, pride, and satisfaction with less financial investment.},
