LOS ANGELES, CA — According to a recent study, more than half — 52 percent — of employees polled said they are satisfied with the performance of their bosses, while 28 percent are unhappy with their supervisors, according to a survey developed by Robert Half International, a specialized staffing firm, and CareerBuilder.com.
Managers drew the highest marks when it comes to addressing day-to-day problems, with 58 percent saying their bosses make time to review their job concerns; only 22 percent disagreed. Workers were somewhat less enthusiastic about their supervisors’ willingness to help them advance professionally. Forty-five percent of respondents said their managers help them develop new skills, compared with 26 percent who disagreed.

While most employees approve of their supervisors’ performance, they aren’t quite as complimentary about top executives. Only forty-four percent said they are satisfied with their corporate leaders’ performance. Additionally only four out of 10 believe their corporate leaders can be trusted, and only 36 percent of employees said those at the top lead by example.
