Slovenians Satisfied with Job Security but Frustrated with Wages

Ljubljana, 18 May

When reflecting on their employment features, workers in Slovenia find the most satisfaction in the level of job security, in their co-workers and the work itself, but are less enthusiastic about their working hours and wages, according to a survey conducted as part of the SiOK project.

The survey conducted between 2001 and 2005, whose results were presented on Thursday in Ljubljana, included 175 Slovenian companies which were subjected to 323 different studies involving 56,044 questionnaires.
While the survey revealed that workers in Slovenia are mostly frustrated by their working hours and wages, it also showed that they value the quality, originality, motivation and vigour present at their work place.
While other organisational climate features, such as internal communication, the internal flow of information and upgrading, received somewhat poorer grades, the characteristic "career possibilities" is ranked at the very bottom.
According to Mitja Cimerman of AT Adria, one of the consultancies involved in the project, the data gathered offers managers unprecedented insight into the climate in their companies and offers them valuable guidelines for improvement.
The SiOK project was set up in 2000 in cooperation of the Slovenian Chamber of Commerce and is being developed by several specialised consultancies who are conducting comparative research of organisational climate in Slovenian and Croatian companies.
