Posted by Jagadeesh VP | Posted in , , ,

72 percent of Indian employees say that they are passionate about their jobs when their skills and abilities are put to good use; the company supports work/life balance; they have confidence in the company's future; they have the opportunity to improve their skills; and they are recognized for their work.

Employees in Brazil (63 percent), Canada (60 percent), and the United States and Germany (59 percent) report the most passion followed by those in Saudi Arabia and Russia (58 percent). Workers in Japan (41 percent) are the least likely to feel passionate. With Valentine's Day right around the corner, the Kenexa Research Institute (KRI), a division of Kenexa, a global provider of business solutions for human resources, conducted a survey on "What makes an employee passionate about his/her job?" which says that globally, 56 percent of surveyed employees feel passionate about their jobs.

Having passion for one's job is defined by the extent to which employees are excited about their work, feel a sense of personal accomplishment, are extremely satisfied with their organization, believe they have a future at their organization, and rarely think about finding a new job.


Also, the intensity to which employees are passionate about their jobs varies among different jobs types. In India, clerical workers (77 percent) report the most passion for their jobs followed by supervisors (76 percent), senior/middle managers (74 percent), salespeople (72 percent) and professional/technical workers (70 percent). Service and production workers (64 percent) report the least amount of passion.

Brenda Kowske, research consultant, Kenexa Research Institute, said, "Similar to romantic passion, workers won't put up with a miserable relationship for long. As the economic outlook continues to improve, it would behoove leaders to 'play cupid.' Elevating an employee's passion for his/her job will keep employees happy and committed, even when other attractive opportunities come their way."
