Research Institute (KRI), has revealed. The study found 72 per cent Indians love their jobs as compared to the global average of 56 per cent.

Indians are followed by their counterparts in Brazil (63%), Canada (60 %), US and Germany (59 %) and Saudi Arabia and Russia (58%). Workers in Japan with 41% are the least likely to feel passionate.

Brenda Kowske, research consultant, KRI, said, “As the economic outlook continues to improve, it would behoove leaders to ‘play cupid.’ Elevating employee’s passion will keep them committed, even when attractive offers come their way.”

According to the study, the intensity of passion for the job also varies with different jobs types. In India, clerical workers (77%) are found to be the most passionate about their jobs followed by supervisors (76%), senior/middle managers (74 %), salespeople (72%) and technical workers (70%). Production workers (64%) seem to have the least amount of passion.
