Jobs and motivation: Help is needed

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
