Eugene I can direct you to some British studies about employees' views about
their work and how it is intensifying over time causing stress, burn out etc
if that is of any interest.

Dear everybody-

 

When I was in California, I read in a Russian immigrant newspaper about an
US study, according to which 95% working people in US do not like their jobs
("zanimayutsya ne lyubimym delom" in Russian). The choice of words in
Russian indicates that these people do their job ONLY out of necessity to
earn money but if they have enough money (e.g., won lottery) they would stop
doing their jobs.

 

Have anybody heard about such study? If so, can you provide reference,
please?

 

Thanks,

 

Eugene
