为什么日本人每天把那么多时间花费在办公室的工作上，甚至下班后依然不离开？

They don’t.
The more accurate statement is that Japanese spend many hours in the office. Whether they are actually being productive in those hours is another matter entirely.
The reality is that Japanese office workers spend a good amount of their office hours either pretending to be busy or literally sleeping on the job.
Japanese society is 99% image and 1% substance. Looking like you’re working is far more important than actually working.
For most jobs in Japan, actual KPI performance is rarely a factor. Only the most cut-throat sales positions really look hard at KPI. If you’re working some middle office position, there’s no need to worry about job performance so long as you show up on time and leave after your boss.
Now, to be fair, this culture is changing. More Japanese firms are making it clear to their employees that they need to actually get work done even if it means that they can leave before their boss does.
Progress is slow as evidenced by failed national initiatives like “Premium Fridays” which allowed employees to go home at 15:00 on Fridays. Basically, no one participated in the initiative, and the few companies that said they would, didn’t actually carry it out. They would much rather have their staff sit in the office doing nothing than actually going home and boosting the economy by shopping or making babies.whatever-happened-to-premium-friday-japanese-government-looks-set-to-pull-the-plug
The bottom line is that Japan is a victim of its own inefficient and inflexible culture. Everyone in Japan opening acknowledges that their work culture is toxic and inefficient, but no one is willing to actually affect change because no one is willing to be the first to do anything.
他们没有。
更准确的说法是日本人在办公室里度过了很多时间。但是他们在这些时间里是否真正富有成效，则完全是另一回事。
现实情况是，日本办公室职员在办公时间里要么假装忙碌，要么真的在工作时睡觉。
日本社会99%注重形象，1%注重实质。看起来在工作比实际在工作重要得多。
对于日本的大多数工作来说，实际的KPI绩效很少，这是一个因素。只有最残酷的销售岗位才会真正重视KPI。
如果你在中层办公室工作，只要你准时上班并在老板下班后离开，就无需担心工作绩效。
现在，公平地说，这种文化正在改变。越来越多的日本公司向员工明确表示，他们只需要完成工作，即使这意味着他们可以在老板下班前离开。
但进展缓慢，比如“优质星期五”等失败的国家举措，该举措允许员工在星期五下午3点回家。基本上，没有人参与这项举措，而少数几家声称会参与的公司实际上并没有实施。他们宁愿让员工坐在办公室里无所事事，也不愿真正回家购物或生孩子来促进经济发展。
归根结底，日本是其自身低效和缺乏灵活性文化的受害者。日本的每个人都承认他们的工作文化是有害和低效的，但没有人愿意真正影响变革，因为没有人愿意成为第一个出头鸟。
