Indians don't feel 'engaged' at work: Survey

A record high of 31% of Indian adults - or about 240 million Indians - rate their lives poorly enough to be considered 'suffering', according to the 2012 Gallup research released Monday at the Behavioral Economics Forum in New Delhi. This is against 24% "suffering" in 2011.

Engagement in Indian workplaces is also a concern, with 8% of Indians who are employed for an employer being engaged, versus 32% being "actively disengaged".

Gallup classifies respondents as 'thriving', 'struggling' or 'suffering', according to how they rate their current and future lives on a ladder scale with steps numbered from 0 to 10 based on the Cantril Self-Anchoring Striving Scale. Gallup considers people to be suffering if they rate their current lives and their lives in five years at a 4 or lower.

The poorest and least educated Indians are the most likely to be suffering, but suffering has increased among Indians at all income and education levels.

Suffering has risen among the poorest 40% of India's population since 2008, reaching 38% in early 2012.

At least 5% of Indian adults who have a college degree or more education fall into the suffering category, versus 32% who have completed their Secondary School Certificate education.

"The key factors affecting Indian citizens' well being are income, education and employment - all linked and influenced by the workplace," said Jim Clifton, Gallup chairman and CEO. Gallup research reveals that a "good job" - which Gallup categorises as being employed full time for an employer - is important to overall well being. In early 2012, 43% of Indians had these good jobs.

"The workplace is the centre of India's ability to transform the well being of its citizens and to further strengthen India's economy and its presence on the international stage," Clifton added.
