A pay rise? An overdue promotion that you rightfully deserve? Whatever your view of work happiness

may be, we need to acknowledge its impact on ones life satisfaction. After all, most people do spend

half their waking hours slaving away in The Workplace.

Problem is, everyone has different ideas of what it means to be, well, happy. And as Singapores

standard and cost of living increases, more workers expect workplace satisfaction that go beyond

mere employment. Coupled with an economy that enjoys a consistently low unemployment rate,

being happy at work is probably more important than ever and employers need to understand what

their employees want.

Our quest to understand workplace happiness began in 2009 with the launch of the JobsCentral Work

Happiness Indicator. The Indicator uses a 100-point scoring scale the higher the score, the happier

the employee is. Since then, the Indicator has grown to be one of the most popular and well-loved

survey reports in Singapore with regular coverage by broadcast, print, and online media.

This year, 3,568 Singapore workers aged 16 years and above took part in our online survey, which ran

from 22nd May to 23rd June. Results are statistically significant, with a margin error of 1.64 per cent,

at confidence levels of 95% for a Singapore labour force population of over 3.3 million1. This meansyou can trust our findings to represent Singapore workers fairly.

What makes you happy at work?

Force in Singapore, 2012 published by the Ministry of Manpower, 2013. Source: .

Salary and career advancement are most important but they are

also the causes of most dissatisfaction

Todays workers are only marginally

happier than workers in 2009s

Recession year

Workers approaching retirement age are the unhappiest;

while those 61 years and above report the greatest happiness

levels

Singapore workers want money. Across all age groups, respondents agree

that Salary is the most highly prized work aspect. After that, they want career

advancement. Unfortunately, they also rated these two aspects as the ones

that they are most dissatisfied with. This disparity between importance and

reality may account for our consistenly dismal work happiness scores. As

the cost of living rises in Singapore, workers feel the pressure to make more

money to maintain their aspirations and way of life.

2009 was a difficult time for a lot of people

worldwide. In Singapore, the overall Work

Happiness ranking for workers was 56.4. In

2013, this figure inched up slightly to 57.9.

If youre between 51 60 years old, chances are youre the least happy

compared to other groups. This age group scores the lowest on the Work

Happiness scale with a score of 55.5. They also have the biggest decline

compared to 2009, with a 12 per cent drop in work happiness. On the

contrary, those aged 61 years and above are the happiest, with a score of

69.8 which puts them in the Moderately Happy category.

Those earning $10,000 and above each month are really, really

happy. They also have one of the highest increases in work

happiness compared to 2009. In contrast, those who earn $5,000 -

$5,999 monthly have the greatest decline in happiness levels.

Workers in Research & Development nicked the highest Happiness

rating, with a score of 64.7. Possible reasons? R&D workers had

one of the highest Work-life Balance satisfaction levels, coming in

at 3rd place. In comparison, the overall level of Work-life Balance

satisfaction ranks a lowly 8th place.

Singapore workers in Legal job functions have shown the largest decline in happiness,

with a 6 per cent decrease in overall work happiness in 2013 compared to 2009. They

are also among the least happiest of workers, alongside Supply Chain/Distribution and

Merchandising workers.

In addition to money, Generation X also wants Work-life balance, and voted it as the

second most important. In contrast, Work-life balance only ranks 4th among the Millennial

Generation. The Millennials those aged 29 years and below rated Advancement

opportunities as their second-most important aspect instead.
