SINGAPORE : Employees working for the government are happier than those in the private sector. This is according to an online survey conducted by JobsCentral, one of Singapore's largest job portals.
Civil servants scored 58.5 on the JobsCentral Work Happiness Indicator, higher than the average score of 55.9 for employees in the private sector.
A score of 50 indicates that an employee feels neutral about his work happiness, and a full score of 100 will mean that he is very happy.
Chief executive officer of JobsCentral, Lim Der Shing, said the result was not surprising.
He said the civil service in Singapore is well-run and has rather progressive human resource policies in place.
Employees in education/training have emerged as the happiest, followed by those in public relations and consulting.
As for industry, employees in the arts, entertainment and recreation industry are the happiest. - CNA/ms
