How satisfied are you with your profession!!!
Accountants more satisfied than tax experts
Tax advisers come 42nd in a poll of job satisfaction, below
management accountants - but above lawyers
Kevin Reed, Accountancy Age 07 Aug 2007
Management and chartered accountants have higher job satisfaction
than tax experts, however, these roles pale in comparison to
hairdressers, fitness pros and teachers.
The survey by the University of Bath found that accountants and
management consultants ranked just 29th in UK job satisfaction,
while tax advisers were further down the chart in 42nd place.
Corporate managers and officials were in the top spot, just pipping
hairdressers.
Librarians, teachers and fitness experts also had more job
satisfaction than accounting professionals.
But accountants had more satisfaction than those in the legal
profession, salespeople and builders.
Journalists and media professionals ranked 50th.
'Individual job satisfaction is made up of a range of factors
including material rewards, such as pay and conditions of
employment, and symbolic rewards, such as prestige,' said professor
Michael Rose from the University of Bath who carried out the
research, funded by the Economic & Social Research Council
'The most important factor in determining the levels of job
satisfaction in the survey is the managerial skill in creating a
sense of involvement.'
