There are a lot of differences between Thailand and Japan. Both people have different culture and background. However, there are many factories of Japanese companies in Thailand and they work together. Questionnaire was enforced to analyze their differences about job satisfaction and motivation in both countries. Selected company is a Japanese manufacturing company which has factories in Thailand, too. All questions were based on the the Herzberg's motivator-hygiene model and considered well by related managers. All scores of answers were calculated and compared by T-test. Main respondents were chosen at random and many of them were young people who have some experiences in manufacturing companies. The results were different from the Herzberg's model and results of Thai people and Japanese people were also different. Thai people focus on working environment, especially salary. On the other hand, Japanese people focus on not only working environment but also working contents. Human relationships and working contents play important roles for Japanese people. The opportunities which both people work together are increasing now. Japanese people are focusing on Southeast Asia. If they can understand each other more and more, they can enjoy working and get good results of works.

Eustress or positive stress is defined as stress which enables employees to perform better and increase their job satisfaction. This study confirms that eustress is a key factor in motivating employees to achieve high performance and enhanced job satisfaction. Not enough eustress lead to employee boredom and turnover. On the other hand, large amount of negative stress or distress significantly leads to physical and psychological illness. Exclusive stimulation or too much negative stress is likely to cause illness. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected for this research. Structural equation modeling techniques were used for statistical data analysis together with in-depth interview analysis of Thai managers reporting to US, Japanese, and Thai senior managements.
