Eight out of ten employees in the Czech Republic are happy at work, surveys dealing with worker satisfaction have repeatedly shown. But there are big differences between the individual regions: the positions of the “happiest” and “least happy” regions differ by more than forty percentage points. This follows from the latest representative survey of the personnel company Předvýběr.CZ, for which the data was collected by the agency Talk Online Panel.
“Most people feel happy at work in Olomouc, the fewest in Karlovy Vary. It is interesting that in both regions the strongest satisfaction factor is a good salary,” says František Boudný, director of Předvýběru.CZ. In the Olomouc region, 96.6% of respondents feel happy at work, while in Karlovy Vary only 53.8% of respondents feel happy. Thirty-five percent of people in Olomouc cited a good salary as a reason for job satisfaction, while fifty-four percent in Karlovy Vary.
Prague, with 84.7% of happy respondents, belongs to seven above-average regions – in addition to Olomouc, this also includes Liberec (95%), Zlín (92.6%), Pardubice (87.5%), South Bohemia (83.3%) and Hradec Králové (80%).
Employees are not as happy as in Karlovy Vary in any other region – the remaining regions are around eighty to seventy percent.
“The location of Karlovarsk is not surprising, it is one of the weakest regions on the labor market,” adds František Boudný.
Data for a representative survey was collected by the Talk Online Panel agency on a sample of 500 workers aged 18-59.
