Approximately
70% of new recruits endorse wage structures and promotions based
on ability. Yet on the other hand, there were more supporters of
the seniority-based wage structure and promotion than the previous

overtime work and more time to spend for themselves. |

The percentage
of those who reject job changes and those who answered that they
plan to work at their present company until retirement reached a
record high (since the first implementation of this survey). Over
70% chose their current place of employment because they felt the
work would prove worthwhile. Those who considered “salary”
in choosing their employment decreased by half, and those who prioritized
“commuting convenience” doubled over the previous year.
The number of respondents who put friendship ahead of relationships
in the workplace increased for the first time in five years.
Announcements of their “informal appointments” by employers
peaked in the summer of 2002. 80% received their informal appointments
during spring and autumn 2002. |
