Jobsdb's salary report reveals a critical gap in Thai employee satisfaction: while 83% perceive fair compensation, only 50% are actually satisfied. Key finding: dissatisfied employees are 2.2× more likely to job-hunt, while satisfied ones are 2.8× more engaged. Crucially, only 4% will accept toxic culture for higher pay, signaling that Thai SMEs must prioritize workplace culture, transparent salary communication, and career clarity beyond salary figures to retain talent.
