It's not all about money

So, money isn't everything after all — even when it comes down to determining how committed one is to a job.

Just one in four employees said money was an important factor in driving job satisfaction, compared to 56 per cent who chose having a good working environment as their key motivator.

Who are they kidding?

The Singapore Human Resources Institute (SHRI) survey, which involved 127 companies that employ between 50 and 800 people, found that monetary rewards may have played a significant role in attracting people to a company, but in driving employee loyalty and commitment, cash plays a small role.

Instead, topping the list of motivators are: A good working environment and bosses who involve staff in decision-making.

Right... . Even if they pay peanuts? I don't think so. They didn't ask me.

I believe this is just another one of those superficial "findings" consistently sent out to the media that's meant as a propaganda in order to create a small ripple to boost the economy in the larger scheme of things over a short period.

I don't believe everything they say. I figure my own things out, thanks.
