After analyzing 59,000 people and 263 professions, scientists revealed the most and less satisfactory jobs in the world. Not everything has to do with salaries.
Income? Prestige? Most of the most satisfactory jobs are not related to wages or social positions. A study this week in Psyarxiv explain why.
Researchers resorted to Estonia’s biological database data, doing what they say is “the most complete and rigorous study to date on job satisfaction differences.”
As details, participants filled an inquiry that asked them details about their job, salary, personality and satisfaction with various aspects of life.
It has been found that the jobs that seem to give More satisfaction are: o clergyseveral medical professions and those involving writing.
On the opposite side, the professions that indicated less satisfaction include the work in transportation; nas kitchens; Fabris Workers; workers warehouses; and even sellers/commercials.
In terms of global satisfaction with life and not just in terms of feelings regarding careers, the ranking of higher satisfaction presents very specific professions:
- doctor;
- psychologist;
- SPECIAL NEED TEACHER;
- Metal sheet worker;
- Naval engineer.
On the side of dissatisfactionthey are:
- security guards;
- Inquiries interviewer;
- Table employee;
- SELLER/COMMERCIAL;
- mailman;
- carpenter;
- Chemical engineer.
Not everything has to do with salaries
Several factors seem to contribute to satisfaction… but perhaps surprisingly, one of the main conclusions of this study is that the Higher yield is not strongly correlated with satisfaction.
In addition, the prestige of a job also does not mean that a job is more or less satisfactory.
“I was waiting for employment prestige to be more associated with satisfaction, but there was only a slight correlation,” said the investigation leader, Kätlin Annifrom the University of Tarti, in Estonia, quoted by New Scientist.
Workers on their own are happier
“Os jobs with a greater sense of realization are associated with a greater satisfaction And even the lower prestigious jobs can be quite rewarding, ”he added.
According to the expert, the Unjustive jobs They often have a stress factorfor example, have a very structured function and with great responsibility, how to be director in a large company.
This logic can also explain the fact that self employed have a High classification of satisfactionbecause these people have the independence or the opportunity to regulate your working days.
