People from hotel and hospitality industries, the report added, do not just have the happiest employees, it’s also considered the “happiest specialization” as well, with 5.60 percent of employees saying that work in that field is less stressful compared to other industries.

When asked why employees tag the hotel and hospitality sector as the happiest industry, Jobstreet.com Country Manager Philip Gioca said: "It’s probably because a big part of their job is to make people feel happy—and that’s why they are happy themselves."

The Jobstreet.com survey also reported that having good friends in the workplace is more important than having a higher pay, making it the top happiness factor for working pinoys. On the other hand, lack of career development is the leading cause of unhappiness at work.

“More and more Filipinos are looking for career development," Gioca said. "They want to move forward in their chosen fields, but the lack of career development and training opportunities in their current companies seem to hold them back.”

Meanwhile, when asked what would make them happier at work in the next six months, 33 percent said that a salary increase would be a great motivator. However, 23 percent of the respondents would rather not delay the inevitable, preferring to just resign and get a new job.
