Respect is the Key to Job Satisfaction for Women
CareerWomen.com Asks Women What Leads to Job Satisfaction
May 28, 2003 - Nearly one-half of women polled are staying in jobs that are not satisfying according to a poll released today by CareerWomen.com
"We asked the question about job satisfaction to take a real-time pulse on the condition of the workforce," said JillXan Donnelly of CareerWomen.com. "Companies are at risk for losing talented employees and the cost for corporations will be significant."
Over a two-week period, several hundred viewers responded to a poll to determine if lack of job satisfaction is leading more people to seek new career opportunities, and over half are saying yes. 72% of women polled responded that they are not inspired by their work due to lack of "fit" with company, 66% cited working relationship with co-workers, while 47% cited lack of advancement opportunities.
"What we found most interesting in this survey is that women are not primarily inspired by compensation, but by respect, service and challenge," continued Donnelly. "Job seekers are clearly looking for challenging work, but in an environment where they 'fit'."
When asked what inspires women in the workplace, responses were as follows:
Respect.....94%
Service......74%
Challenge...71%
Money.........66%
Recognition..8%
