能在外企謀得一份高收入的工作是數(shù)百萬(wàn)中國(guó)求職者的夢(mèng)想，然而，最近的一個(gè)調(diào)查可能會(huì)改變他們的想法。
零點(diǎn)研究咨詢集團(tuán)最近開展的一項(xiàng)調(diào)查顯示，外企中近90%的中國(guó)員工患有職業(yè)病。
據(jù)零點(diǎn)研究咨詢集團(tuán)介紹，在1521名外企受訪員工中，91%的人說(shuō)下班后會(huì)出現(xiàn)疲勞、壓力大、情緒低落、睡眠不足以及頸部和肩膀發(fā)麻等癥狀。這些受訪者共列舉了27種職業(yè)病癥狀。
此次調(diào)查主要通過(guò)電話、電子郵件、傳真以及面對(duì)面的形式進(jìn)行，調(diào)查地點(diǎn)包括北京、上海、廣州和武漢四個(gè)城市。
調(diào)查顯示，15.4%的受訪者說(shuō)他們至少有七種職業(yè)病癥狀，而這些癥狀則會(huì)導(dǎo)致精神衰弱或嚴(yán)重疾病。
另有5%的受訪者稱自己至少有十種癥狀，這說(shuō)明他們的工作已極度超負(fù)荷。
有一半的受訪者說(shuō)他們很少鍛煉身體，還有很多人抱怨他們每天要工作十小時(shí)以上，晚上很晚才能回家，而且周末還得加班。
30%的受訪者說(shuō)他們記憶力減退、壓力大、情緒不穩(wěn)定，而且衰老加快，這些是職業(yè)病最為普遍的幾種癥狀。
調(diào)查顯示，中年雇員和高薪雇員更容易患上職業(yè)病。
約15.8%的中年受訪者說(shuō)他們至少有七種癥狀。
月薪在8000元（1025美元）以上的受訪群體中，19%的人說(shuō)由于過(guò)度工作，他們至少出現(xiàn)了七種職業(yè)病癥狀。
調(diào)查表明，缺乏定期體檢，以及抽煙、喝酒和不吃早餐等不健康的生活方式也是問(wèn)題加劇的主要原因。
