Intention to Stay or Return? Motivation and Factors Influencing Indonesian Nurses Working in Japan
As part of the 2008 Indonesia-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (IJEPA), Japan promised to engage
Indonesian nurses as nurses and care workers in Japan. Japan is currently experiencing a labor shortage due to an
aging population, whilst Indonesia has an oversupply of nurses. The purpose of this study was to discover why
Indonesian nurses desired to work in Japan and what factors influenced their decision to stay or return to
Indonesia when their contracts expired. An online survey was completed by 103 persons for this descriptive,
quantitative study. According to descriptive statistical analysis results, high remuneration and a better working
environment were the pull factors, whereas a low salary and poor working conditions in Indonesia were the
primary reasons (push factors) why Indonesian nurses sought to work in Japan. Furthermore, 69% of the 103
respondents stated they wanted to stay in Japan once their contract expired, while 31% wanted to return to
Indonesia. Last, hopefully, this study provides a comprehensive overview of Indonesian nurse workers and
contributes to the study of international migration.
