A pay rise? An overdue promotion that you rightfully deserve? Whatever your view of work happiness
may be, we need to acknowledge its impact on ones life satisfaction. After all, most people do spend
half their waking hours slaving away in The Workplace.
Problem is, everyone has different ideas of what it means to be, well, happy. And as Singapores
standard and cost of living increases, more workers expect workplace satisfaction that go beyond
mere employment. Coupled with an economy that enjoys a consistently low unemployment rate,
being happy at work is probably more important than ever and employers need to understand what
their employees want.
Our quest to understand workplace happiness began in 2009 with the launch of the JobsCentral Work
Happiness Indicator. The Indicator uses a 100-point scoring scale the higher the score, the happier
the employee is. Since then, the Indicator has grown to be one of the most popular and well-loved
survey reports in Singapore with regular coverage by broadcast, print, and online media.
This year, 3,568 Singapore workers aged 16 years and above took part in our online survey, which ran
from 22nd May to 23rd June. Results are statistically significant, with a margin error of 1.64 per cent,
at confidence levels of 95% for a Singapore labour force population of over 3.3 million1. This meansyou can trust our findings to represent Singapore workers fairly.
What makes you happy at work?

Salary and career advancement are most important but they are
also the causes of most dissatisfaction
Todays workers are only marginally
happier than workers in 2009s
Recession year
Workers approaching retirement age are the unhappiest;
while those 61 years and above report the greatest happiness
levels
Singapore workers want money. Across all age groups, respondents agree
that Salary is the most highly prized work aspect. After that, they want career
advancement. Unfortunately, they also rated these two aspects as the ones
that they are most dissatisfied with. This disparity between importance and
reality may account for our consistenly dismal work happiness scores. As
the cost of living rises in Singapore, workers feel the pressure to make more
money to maintain their aspirations and way of life.
2009 was a difficult time for a lot of people
worldwide. In Singapore, the overall Work
Happiness ranking for workers was 56.4. In
2013, this figure inched up slightly to 57.9.
If youre between 51 60 years old, chances are youre the least happy
compared to other groups. This age group scores the lowest on the Work
Happiness scale with a score of 55.5. They also have the biggest decline
compared to 2009, with a 12 per cent drop in work happiness. On the
contrary, those aged 61 years and above are the happiest, with a score of
69.8 which puts them in the Moderately Happy category.

Those earning $10,000 and above each month are really, really
happy. They also have one of the highest increases in work
happiness compared to 2009. In contrast, those who earn $5,000 -
$5,999 monthly have the greatest decline in happiness levels.
Workers in Research & Development nicked the highest Happiness
rating, with a score of 64.7. Possible reasons? R&D workers had
one of the highest Work-life Balance satisfaction levels, coming in
at 3rd place. In comparison, the overall level of Work-life Balance
satisfaction ranks a lowly 8th place.
Singapore workers in Legal job functions have shown the largest decline in happiness,
with a 6 per cent decrease in overall work happiness in 2013 compared to 2009. They
are also among the least happiest of workers, alongside Supply Chain/Distribution and
Merchandising workers.
In addition to money, Generation X also wants Work-life balance, and voted it as the
second most important. In contrast, Work-life balance only ranks 4th among the Millennial
Generation. The Millennials those aged 29 years and below rated Advancement
opportunities as their second-most important aspect instead.
