Shift in Values: Job Study: Many People Only Work for the Money
Those who identify with their work are usually motivated. However, according to a new survey, an increasing number of people find working life unfulfilling.
A recent survey by Yougov for the insurance company HDI found that 59% of employees in Germany work primarily or only for the money, a 17% increase from the previous year and nearly double the rate from 2019. Over half of respondents aged 15-54 (54%) and 63% of those aged 55-64 said they would stop working as soon as possible if they didn't need the money.
The survey also found that people have mixed feelings about artificial intelligence, with 42% expecting it to lead to job losses. The most KI-threatened professions are seen as IT developers, financial and tax advisors, and advertising and marketing professionals, while cooks and chefs are considered the least at risk.
