www.execunet.com - A recent survey conducted by ExecuNet, the executive job search and recruiting network, finds more that half of all executives are not satisfied with their current job, and many of these discouraged leaders are hoping to take advantage of growth in the job market to find a better opportunity. 
According to the survey of 454 employed executives, 55% are not satisfied with their current job, and of those who are not satisfied, 68% plan to change jobs in the next six months.
The top five reasons why employed executives are looking to make a job change are:
1. Increased Advancement Opportunity/Challenge (43%);
2. Increased Compensation (17%);
3. Better Corporate Culture (12%);
4. Greater Job Security (11%); and
5. Improved Lifestyle (10%).
ìEncouraged by a stronger employment market, many executives are eager to look for a better opportunity,î says Dave Opton, CEO and Founder of ExecuNet. ìAs the market continues to improve, companies that donít make retention a top priority will watch their best talent walk out the door.î
A separate ExecuNet survey of 258 executive recruiters helps to explain why executives are gaining enough confidence in the employment market to seek new opportunities. According to this survey, the executive search industry is expecting a 15% increase in the number of assignments received from corporate clients during the next six months.
