This paper examines the formation of the identity of labors migrating from rural areas to Bangkok megalopolis in Thailand and also analyses individual laboring and living process structuring their identity. Recent years have seen researches focusing on labor-management relations and the way of laborer's behavior in Japanese companies starting up activities in southeast Asia, However, there is little attention to laborer's life structure. Therefore most of them explain high ratio of job-hopping of laborers as those preferring evaluation by cash to working relationships in general, then this cultural oriented behavior disturbs technology transformation and skill formation in firms.<BR>However, this view with the reference to cultural personality regulating labor's consciousness fails to account for the central problem as follows : <BR>1) What kind of working and living conditions has generated this labor's attitude in a Japanese manufacturer Thailand ?<BR>2) How Thai socioeconomic situation and Japanese firm organization has reproduced labor's life as well as Thai capitalist society ?<BR>In conclusion, 1) labor's life tactics giving profit in a short period the highest priority for the reproduction of their family of orientation and/or procreation prefers hard labor and jobhopping in pursuit of good wages. 2) This labor's preference is reinforced by the absence of Japanese management system characterized by welfare facilities and prospects for career promotion which motivate labors to be skillful and work in a long time. 3) Japanese companies do not apply this management to labors in Thailand, because they can benefit from low cost of recruitment of superfluous labor force supplied from rural areas.<BR>Added to these findings, detailed information on labor's consciousness and their life structure is given by this case study conducted in 1995 at K Pencil Co. Ltd. Thailand established at the export industrial estate since 1991.
