Job satisfaction lacking — but staff won’t quit

A MAJORITY of men and women are unhappy with their jobs but are unlikely to look for new positions given the economic climate, a study has found.

However, global research carried out by Accenture shows Ireland ranks 13 out of 29 countries surveyed.

The study, released to coincide with International Women’s Day, found both Irish women and men have low job satisfaction with an overall score of just 42% — identical to the global average. However, it also revealed the majority (74% of women and 64% of men) intend to stay with their company at this time.
