Abstract: This paper examines core cultural differences between Western and Japanese employees’ perceptions of the sense of belonging, morale, team conflict and work devotion in the context of work productivity. A questionnaire-based survey involving 135 employees from organizations in Japan, was carried out for data collection. The main results obtained through structural equation modelling suggest a positive effect on work productivity between three of the elements, morale, conflict and work devotion, and a negative correlation for the sense of belonging. The findings may be useful for cross-cultural understanding when undertaking business projects with Japanese companies and employees.
