As Western nations also face a scarcity of qualified professionals, the ambition of their workforce becomes a decisive factor for growth, economic success, and wealth preservation,&#8221; states <span class=\"xn-person\">Annika Farin<\/span>, Global Chair at Amrop. &#8220;Stakeholders should encourage entrepreneurship and foster interest in both professional and personal growth in workers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Notably, 92% of Indians and 87% of Brazilians say they enjoy working, while the sentiment is lower in <span class=\"xn-location\">Germany<\/span> (71%), the US (69%), and the UK (68%), as well as other European countries. Significant variations emerge in how respondents prioritize their careers: 84% in <span class=\"xn-location\">India<\/span> assert that a successful career is crucial for a good life, with high agreement also in <span class=\"xn-location\">China<\/span> (71%) and <span class=\"xn-location\">Brazil<\/span> (70%). Conversely, only 43% in <span class=\"xn-location\">Germany<\/span>, 40% in <span class=\"xn-location\">France<\/span> and 37% in <span class=\"xn-location\">Poland<\/span> share this perspective. In other Western countries such as the US and UK, over half of respondents consider their careers vital for a good life.<\/p>\n<p><b>India Leads with Impressive Work Ethic and Work-Life Balance<\/b><\/p>\n<p>However, divergent work ethics surfaced among Western countries as well, with 70% in the US prioritizing hard work, contrasting starkly with the 35% in <span class=\"xn-location\">France<\/span> who share the same belief. In this context, <span class=\"xn-location\">India<\/span> leads at 75%, surpassing <span class=\"xn-location\">Brazil<\/span> (55%) and <span class=\"xn-location\">China<\/span> (63%). Chinese professionals also lean more towards career over private life. Work hours reveal distinctions: 46% in <span class=\"xn-location\">China<\/span> and 42% in <span class=\"xn-location\">India<\/span> are willing to work over 40 hours, while 29% in the UK, 27% in <span class=\"xn-location\">Germany<\/span> and only 16% in <span class=\"xn-location\">France<\/span>, are open to longer working hours. At the same time 73% in <span class=\"xn-location\">India<\/span> and 59% in <span class=\"xn-location\">China<\/span> assert that they have a healthy work-life balance, contrasting with 45% in <span class=\"xn-location\">France<\/span> and 49% in <span class=\"xn-location\">Germany<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This observation is intriguing. Working fewer hours doesn&#8217;t necessarily improve one&#8217;s perception of work-life balance. If any connection exists, it appears to be the other way around \u2013 professionals willing to work longer hours also seem to have a greater sense of work-life balance. In <span class=\"xn-location\">Europe<\/span>, especially, we need follow-up studies to find out where these sentiments are coming from, so we know how to reignite the passion for work,&#8221; says Farin.<\/p>\n<p><b>The Lack of Leadership Ambition Extends to Politics<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Further results from the survey show that the Global South countries demonstrate a higher aspiration for leadership roles and entrepreneurial ventures. Notably, 76% in <span class=\"xn-location\">India<\/span> express a desire to run or manage a company, followed by 66% in <span class=\"xn-location\">Brazil<\/span> and 54% in <span class=\"xn-location\">China<\/span>. In contrast, the UK (52%), the US (49%), <span class=\"xn-location\">France<\/span> (37%), and <span class=\"xn-location\">Germany<\/span> (36%) trail in these aspirations. The global lack of leadership ambition extends to politics, with respondents deeming it the least desirable career across most countries. Only 19% express a motivation to make a positive impact, with 51% prioritizing financial stability and 39% aiming for a specific lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at these results, Farin emphasizes a further concern, &#8220;In surveying individuals with at least a bachelor&#8217;s degree across various countries, our results prompt a crucial question: If most professionals lack ambition for high-level leadership, who will shape the future of economies and societies? Our societies rely on people, their expertise, and motivation. Are we approaching a future where we question not only corporate leadership but also national leadership?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>About the Survey<\/b><\/p>\n<p>An online survey was conducted and gathered insights from 8,000 participants, with 1,000 respondents from each of the following countries: <span class=\"xn-location\">Brazil<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">China<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">France<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Germany<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">India<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Poland<\/span>, the US, and the UK.<\/p>\n<p>The survey aimed for representativeness across these diverse nations, capturing perspectives from individuals aged 20 to 60 (Gen Z: 20-26, Young Millennials: 27-34, Old Millennials: 35-42, Gen X: 43-60), all possessing at least a bachelor&#8217;s degree.
