Most Chinese not engaged in their jobs, survey

Only 6% of Chinese employees said they are "engaged" in their jobs, according to a global Gallup survey released this month.

Workers across all income levels and industries were surveyed by Gallup in China, defined by Gallup to mean they were "psychologically committed to their jobs and likely to be making positive contributions to their organisations".

Out of 94 countries polled, only six countries scored lower rates of job engagement than China, including Tunisia, Israel and Syria.

In a related survey, only 49% of Chinese respondents said they were happy in their jobs.
