If you are reading this sat at your desk, wishing you were anywhere else other than at work, you might think you share the same attitude towards your job as people around the world.

 

此刻坐在桌前阅读这篇文章的你，假如你的心飞到了办公室外，你大概会以为世界上其他人对工作的态度都和你一样。
 

 

But more than seven in 10 of us don't mind the daily grind¹ and are actually pretty happy at work, according to the results of an annual survey.

 

The findings come from the latest well-being² work barometer³, carried out by Edenred-Ipsos, which questioned 14,400 employees in 15 countries around the world and found that 71 percent of people reported feeling positive about their work.

 

As you might expect, well-being at work came down to a mix of factors, including the working environment, how much people feel appreciated and how they feel about the work they do.

 

However, while the report found a high level of well-being overall, there were differences between countries.

 

Indian employees came out top of the pile, with 88 percent of workers reportedly feeling positive about their work. While Japan fared far worse, with just 44 percent of employees surveyed responding positively⁴ about their jobs.

 

The UK and China were on equal footing, with an average of 71 percent of workers scoring positively for workplace well-being, with the US nudging higher with 77 percent.
