Added job responsibilities mean that 32% of professionals are working harder, while fear of losing their job is prompting a fifth to work harder. By contrast, 27% of the region’s professionals are working at the same level as before, while 16%, feeling the pressure of the economic crisis, are working much less, citing themselves as de-motivated to work.
