Factors that make working environ pleasant: a survey result.

The bar chart breaks up the findings of a survey conducted on two different age groups- 18-30 and 45-60 – to find out factors that make their working environment pleasant.

These factors can be divided into external and internal factors. The internal factors are team spirit, competent boss, respect from colleagues and job satisfaction. The external factors are chance for personal development, job security, promotional prospects and money.

On the internal factors, above 50% in each age groups agreed that team spirit, competent boss and job satisfaction are essential for making their environment pleasant, whereas on the external factors, there are contrasting findings. On the chance for personal development and promotional aspects 80% to 90% of the younger groups were in favour while less than 50% of the older groups thought so. A similar pattern is noted on job security. With regards to money 69% to 70% of both the age groups said it was essential.

In conclusion, the internal factors have similar responses from the two age groups while they had dissimilar opinions on external factors.
