Job Satisfaction Is Going Down<\/strong><\/p>\n Compared globally, job satisfaction has dramatically dropped over recent years. This comes from a study<\/a> by Kelly Services, a worldwide specialist in personnel services. Pursuant to this 2013 poll, in which more than 100,000 employees from all over the world were questioned, 48% of all the respondents were dissatisfied with their current jobs. This is reflected in a high job turnover. In the survey, 62% of Australians claimed to have their jobs for less than a year, which is really a peak value. With its 50%, Switzerland is ranked ten.<\/p>\n Surprisingly, 55% of the respondents said that they were looking for a new job even though they were satisfied with the one they just had. According to 38% of those interviewed, work-life balance was the most important factor influencing their choice of job and job satisfaction. The second important factor (29%) was opportunities for professional improvement. Pay (26%) came third.<\/p>\n Increasingly More Opt for Self-Employment<\/strong><\/p>\n Another study<\/a> by Kelly from 2015 shows that increasingly more employees choose to be self-employed. In this survey 31% of the respondents claimed to be working on their own. On the other hand, 56% of them said that they had decided to be self-employed to get more freedom and flexibility. Twenty per cent claimed that entrepreneurship was what they felt to be driven by. In addition, 64% of the self-employed argued that they were happy because they could organise their work around their lives, and not the other way around. Moreover, 61% were pleased because they could take on more responsibility. This translates into significantly higher levels of job satisfaction than it is the case with employees.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Would you like to venture a step into self-employment too?

At the same time the number of the self-employed is steadily rising. What distinguishes them is that they are often happier. More job satisfaction is especially owed to the freedom and flexibility self-employment gives you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"Self-Employment Makes You Happy #self-employment #happiness","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"views":1259,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p54Pb1-SG","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.startups.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3390"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.startups.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.startups.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.startups.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.startups.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3390"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/blog.startups.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3390\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3393,"href":"https:\/\/blog.startups.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3390\/revisions\/3393"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.startups.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3390"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.startups.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3390"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.startups.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3390"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
