Global Health and Happiness Index Fund

Hong Kong Ming Pao reported that "reading more books" or becoming a professional does not mean that you will be happier in the workplace. According to a survey conducted by the Hong Kong Productivity Council, the happiness index of employees with different academic qualifications is not "the higher the academic qualifications, the happier they are". Employees with diplomas and advanced diplomas are more unhappy than their peers with middle schools and bachelor's degrees. As for professionals, the happiness index is not as good as that of high-level, even middle-level and even front-line employees. In collaboration with the Hong Kong Happiness Index Fund, the HKPC commissioned Lingnan University to conduct a questionnaire survey among more than 65,438+0,300 local employers and employees from different industries from February to April this year. The score is 10, and the average happiness index of local wage earners is 6.7. More than 63% of the respondents rated themselves as obviously happy, and there was little difference in happiness index among different industries. The survey also found that the happiness index of employees at all levels was U-shaped. Professor He, who is in charge of this survey, said that senior managers and middle managers are the happiest, with 7.3 points and 7. 1 point respectively, followed by front-line employees with 6.5 points, and professionals with 6.4 points are the most unhappy. He explained that auditors, engineers and other professionals are not commensurate with their responsibilities and powers, but they have great work pressure but no decision-making power of management, and some types of work have extremely long working hours. In addition, employees with technical secondary school education or below are happier than employees with bachelor degree or above, with 6.7 points and 6.6 points respectively, while employees with diplomas, advanced diplomas or associate degree only have 6.5 points. Why do you think this is a congenital problem? Because employees with diplomas and other qualifications have high expectations for themselves, but their social acceptance is not high. "
