3 in 10 Singaporeans are unsatisfied in working for their bosses

61% of them are unhappy with their jobs.

According to JobsCentral's recent survey, there is a significant positive correlation between good employer-employee work relations and worker happiness. Most Singapore workers (69%) say they are satisfied working for their bosses, with only 28 per cent of this group being unhappy with their jobs. 

However, for employees who report a lack of satisfaction in working for their bosses (31%), the majority (61%) said they are unhappy with their jobs.

Among those who are unhappy about their work relationships with their bosses, their top three areas of concern are lack of advancement (87.5%), lack of autonomy (80.6%) and work demands (71.1%).

While the same three areas are also of concern to those enjoying good work relation with their bosses, their levels of dissatisfaction is much lower.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
