MANILA, Philippines — Around 85% of Filipino workers shared a positive or neutral answer when asked about their job satisfaction, according to a survey conducted by online job portal Jobstreet by SEEK.

The percentage is equivalent to an overall happiness index score of 4.52 out of seven points, with seven being the most positive.

Compared to the responses collected during the pre-COVID-19 pandemic in 2017, the satisfaction of working Filipinos with their current job rose by 17% in the poll’s latest edition.

The respondents attributed their job satisfaction to having work mobility, work-life balance and an inclusive work setup.

According to Jobstreet, Filipinos working remotely or are under the work-from-home setup had better job satisfaction scores with a score of 4.82 over seven. The same employees underscored their work-life balance as the main reason for their satisfaction.

Out of various areas in the country, workers from Metro Manila were deemed least satisfied with their work at 4.46, which can be attributed to the region’s high traffic congestion and difficult mobility that supposedly cause a stressful commute for them.

In terms of age, Gen Z was the least likely to be satisfied with their current jobs with a score of 4.28 for those between the ages of 23 and 27, which may be stemmed from contrasting work conditions among younger and older generations.

Married or partnered employees recorded higher levels of job satisfaction at 4.60 compared to single workers who scored 4.46, citing their ability to balance career and personal relationships.

Overall, the poll found that Filipino workers are happier in their occupations when they are provided the right work arrangement and opportunity to develop and be promoted by their employers.

It also identified career advancement and verticality as the primary contributors to satisfaction at work among the respondents, followed by training opportunities and adequate salary.
