The primary cause of dissatisfaction in Singapore is inadequate salary and benefits.
1 in 5 Singaporean employees are unhappy at work; over 25% find job hunting more challenging than finding a romantic partnerA new survey by Jobstreet and Jobsdb by SEEK, involving over 5,000 workers across Southeast Asia, reveals that Singaporean employees are the most dissatisfied in the region. The survey, conducted in May 2024, shows that 19% of Singaporean employees are unhappy at work, the highest rate compared to Malaysia , The Philippines , Hong Kong , Thailand , and Indonesia .
The survey also highlighted a mismatch between job roles and employee skills. Only 14% of Singaporean workers feel their current job fits their skills and career goals well. This is more pronounced among lower-wage earners, those earning less than SG$2,500 monthly, with 21% feeling their jobs do not align with their skills or aspirations.
Despite 79% of Singaporean employees being open to making significant career changes, 72% are willing to stay in a job they have outgrown for more than a year before seeking new opportunities. This is higher than the regional average of 58%.
