KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians have the highest level of job satisfaction at 67 per cent as compared to their regional counterparts in Singapore (64 per cent) and Hong Kong (50 per cent), according to the latest Asia Pacific Employee Pulse Study by Qualtrics. The survey said employees clocking in more hours at work were least likely to leave their jobs, despite experiencing significant amounts of stress. “Contrary to popular beliefs, long working hours do not necessarily contribute to high employee turnover rates in Malaysia,” it said. In addition, only 11 percent of employees in the finance sector are at risk of leaving their jobs despite the long working hours (37 percent). A deep dive into the employment landscape further reveals that most Malaysia employees remain highly positive despite the stressful work environment.
