<p>Japan scored a mere 25 per cent in the poll. Turkey scored highest at 78 per cent, followed by India at 76 per cent and China at 75 per cent, way higher than the global average of 57 per cent.</p>

<p>The poll results were based on inputs received from 30,000 participants from nearly 30 countries.</p>

<p>Kopp, a board member of MS&amp;AD Insurance Group Holdings Inc, was quoted by Bloomberg as saying that there was a tendency in Japan to rate themselves low. But he acknowledged, "There are significant issues in Japan with lack of satisfaction in the workplace, with significant levels of stress."</p>
