Jobstreet.com’s New Online Resources Seeks to Help Employer’s Curb Nationwide Dip in Job Satisfaction

Yesterday  July 18, 2019 at Makati City Philippines,  Amidst the Nationwide prevalence of low job satisfaction of the Filipino workers, Jobstreet.com commissioned  a study to pinpoint where the problems lie. The study is the biggest ever conducted by Jobstreet.com, involving 18,328 Filipino employees across different job levels in 25 key industries.

The results from this study determined several key factors that directly affect job satisfaction. But more importantly , it revealed that these factors aren’t the same across different industries.

“Different industries attract different people. What we learned is that candidates from different industries have different goals and are therefore driven by different motivations” says Philip Gioca, Country Manager of Jobstreet.com.” Understanding this minute differences  could hold the key to increasing job satisfaction amongst the employees”.

According to Jobstreet the study explains why there is no single-cookie- cutter approach to attracting and retaining employee. The data draws the difference between the industries. While salary is the key driver for those in Call Centers (BPO) jobs, It only ranks second for those in Engineering , which ranks career development opportunities as the primary motivation.

Those with government jobs are driven by higher job security on the other hand, for people in Marketing/Advertising and Media, job security is the lowest concern.

CSR is important in the Food and Beverage industry, as well as for Agriculture. This is due to more visibility in the actions these industries can take towards sustainability and the environment.

Different age groups  also tend to favour different industries. More Gen Z  employees  tend to gravitates toward Accounting and Marketing , while Millenials preferred  Healthcare and Consulting jobs in Science and Technology. General and Wholesale trading , the Automotive industry and IT are skewed  in favour of Gen X.

“This years study is not just the largest study we’ve done , it is also the most granular study we’ve even conducted. The unprecedented level of detail on the data gives us actionable insights on even the tiniest factors  that can make or break an employee”, adds Gioca.

To help employers understand and address these industry specific challenges . Jobstreet.com is launching a knowledge resource called Laws of Attraction.
