Managers are the most satisfied with their lot


They're powerful, often wealthy and, according to the latest survey, the happiest of workers of all – they are people in upper and middle management.

The survey of nearly 294,000 employees, including nearly 2,400 senior executives, by researcher Sirota Survey Intelligence has found top managers and those rising up the management pole tend to be more satisfied with their employers and careers than non-management workers.

Senior-level executives and middle managers were also much more satisfied when it came to things such as opportunities to improve their skills, career advancement, satisfaction with the work they do and teamwork.

They were also more satisfied with the speed of decision making, understanding of the business strategy, opportunities to be innovative, leadership effectiveness, teamwork between departments and personal accountability.
