A survey by JobStreet.com, the online recruiting company, revealed that 78% of Malaysians say they are not happy at work. In line with other similar surveys conducted around the world, compensation was not the main reason for this. The number one complaint, according to respondents to the survey, is the scope of work they are given.
This fell into two broad categories: the belief that they had too much work to do or that their work is predictable and boring.
The second most important factor was their relationship with their immediate boss. Salary only ranked third as a contributor to job dissatisfaction.
The 22% who said they were happy attributed it to three factors: their work, their bosses, or their relationship with their colleagues.
