職場での「指導」はどこからが「パワハラ」になるのか。浅野総合法律事務所が運営する、労働問題弁護士ガイドが実施した調査によると、最も多くパワハラだと判断された行為は「この仕事、向いていないのかもね」(86.0%)と本人に伝えることだった。

職場でパワハラを受けた、または見聞きした経験を聞くと、「見聞きした」(41.7%)と「自分が受けた」(41.0%)が合わせて82.7%に上った。「一度もない」は16.3%にとどまった。

「パワハラだと思う」行為として最も多く挙げられたのは「『この仕事、向いていないのかもね』と本人に伝える」(86.0%)で、2位は「急ぎではないが、時間外・休日にチャットで連絡する」(76.7%)、3位は「飲み会への参加を勧める」(68.3%)だった。

一方、「指導の範囲だと思う」行為については「ミスが続いている間、難易度の低い仕事を任せる」(87.7%)、「本人の実力より少し高い目標を設定する」(81.3%)が上位を占めた。

「指導」と「パワハラ」の境界線としては「言い方・口調の強さ」(87.0%)が最も多く挙げられた。以降「業務上の必要性があるか」(64.7%)、「頻度・しつこさ」(62.3%)が続いた。

自分の言動がパワハラと受け取られるかもしれない、と感じることがあるか尋ねた。その結果、「ある」(「よくある」「たまにある」の合計)が51.6%に上り、「指導や注意をする立場・機会がない」は21.7%、「まったくない」は15.0%、「ほとんどない」は10.7%だった。

パワハラを受けた、または見たときの対応で最も多かったのは「何もできなかった」(25.7%)で、「我慢した」(21.7%)と合わせると47.4%に上る。

「家族・同僚など身近な人に相談した」は14.0%、「反論、抗議した、または転職、退職を考えた」は10.3%だった。「会社(上司・人事・相談窓口)に相談した」は5.3%、「社外(労基署・弁護士など)に相談した」は2.0%にとどまった。

調査は20~60代の300人を対象にインターネットで実施した。期間は6月12~19日。

Problems with asking personal information questions in job interviews

Job interviews often ask personal questions such as children, marriage plans, chronic illnesses, and whether or not you have developmental disabilities, but in many cases interviewers are unable to explain the purpose of the questions. According to a survey by the Nippon Foundation, 76.5% of people who did not have a disability certificate and were looking for a job in the general category had no experience of disclosing their diagnosis results, and the most common reason for this was fear of being rejected.

Fiscal year 2026 minimum wage revisions agreed in 30 prefectures, signs of easing in competition to raise them

The minimum wage revision for 2026 will determine the amount for 30 prefectures. Seventeen prefectures exceeded the Central Council's guidelines, and the margin of increase was smaller than last year. There appears to be a easing trend due to the government's de facto postponement of the national average target of 1,500 yen and concerns about excessive competition to raise prices.
