From the studies I’m not really all too surprised by the results. The study was based off people already working in the industry and asked about what keeps them working at their respective company. Without a doubt, fair pay and benefits are definitely necessities to just being able to sustain your ways of living. However, once those are already established, people will soon start to realize that they’d rather focus and put more value on satisfaction and development. People will start thinking more long-term and look at the big picture beyond money. This is probably why I believe those three categories: exciting work, career development, and working with great people are above fair pay. Usually the cycle is once you graduate college you try and look for a job with decent pay. However after you work for a little bit, and experience work life for the time being, you start to want more in terms of improvement on quality of life. If people aren’t happy with where they are at, then they will eventually make the change and get what they truly most desire. Most likely the people in that study have already made that change.
