Does Lack of Career Satisfaction Lead to Job Search?
The Career Exposure Network Asks and the Answer is Yes!

May 30, 2003 - Job seeking appears to be on the minds of employees according to a poll released today by The Career Exposure Network.

"We asked the question about job satisfaction to take a real-time pulse on the condition of the workforce," said JillXan Donnelly of The Career Exposure Network. "From the results, we've found that only one-third of employees are inspired or satisfied with their current jobs and a lot of employees are looking for new positions."

The poll was conducted over a two week period on the Network's niche sites CareerWomen.com, DiversitySearch.com and MBACareers.com to determine if a lack of job satisfaction is leading more people to seek new positions. Approximately half of all women polled are staying in positions that are not satisfying while 85% of diversity and MBA qualified employees indicate that they are actively looking for new opportunities.

"From this survey we've found that women aren't satisfied with their current job because of lack of 'fit' with company, while MBAs are looking elsewhere due to lack of career advancement opportunities. Diversity employees , however, state that their working relationship with their boss is the most significant reason for lack of satisfaction in the workplace," continued Donnelly. "This is what is driving more than 50% of our viewers to seek new opportunities."

When asked what inspires employees in the workplace, the responses were as follows:

CareerWomen.com DiversitySearch.com MBACareers.com
Respect 94% 67% 64%
Service 74% 44% 22%
Challenge 71% 25% 82%
Money 66% 25% 82%
Recognition 8% NA 12%
