Vienna - Austria - a paradise for workers: Nine out of ten Austrians said that they have 'fun at work', a survey published on Tuesday said. In the survey conducted by the polling institute MAKAM with 1,000 Austrian employees two thirds said they had 'very much fun' pursuing their daily work activities. Only four per cent admitted that they were not happy in their workplace, the Austrian press agency reported. A major factor was the atmosphere at work, the survey found out. Almost 90 er cent of the interviewed said a good work climate was a prerequisite for enjoying work. Payment was only fifth on the list. © 2007 dpa - Deutsche Presse-Agentur
