(2015 photo by Shawn Thew/European Pressphoto Agency)A several-year trend of improvement in federal employees’ views of working for the government continued this year, with responses more positive in 64 of the 84 questions in a government-wide employee survey compared with 2016 and more negative in just one, the government said Thursday. Results of a survey conducted in May and June and released by the Office of Personnel Management repeated familiar themes. On the positive side, more than nine-tenths of federal employees believe their work is important, that they are willing to put in extra effort to get their work done, and that they are constantly looking for ways to improve. Also closely watched are employees’ views of their leadership. Seventy-two percent said they have a positive overall view of the job done by their immediate supervisor, while 60 percent said the same of the manager immediately above their supervisor.
