Often, people stay in work longer than they stay with their family, so it is often important for them to be happy with their work.
The dissatisfaction in the workplace also affects directly the productivity of the employees. Unfortunately, Balkan countries are the most dissatisfied with their current affairs.This is the result of the European Commission's Quality of Life Survey, which has been conducted in EU member states and candidates for membership. From respondents' responses in Albania, the level of satisfaction at work is 6.8, while the average of EU member states is 7.4.
Job satisfaction is the lowest in Albania for low-income individuals. Allocated by income level, it has turned out that low-income individuals have a level of satisfaction 5, making them the most dissatisfied in Europe, along with the Greeks.
Even the respondents belonging to the second level of income have expressed a low level of job satisfaction, marking a record in Europe. In contrast, respondents in other countries, including Greece, have expressed a higher level of satisfaction. This means that the least paid in Albania do not get pleasure from their current job.
