Whether it's challenging projects, camaraderie with your co-workers, or the feeling that you're making an impact, everyone has their own reason for being excited to go to work in the morning.

With consulting firm The Adler Group, LinkedIn polled over 18,000 employees in 26 countries to take a look at what factors influence career satisfaction all over the world. LinkedIn's Talent blog put togetheran infographicto reflect their findings.

The survey found that, on the whole, employees are mostly happy in their jobs. Twenty-seven percent reported being "very satisfied," 45 percent were "somewhat satisfied" and only 4 percent were "very dissatisfied." While many are content in their current roles, 25 percent said they were on the "active" look out for a new job. Forty-five percent aren't on the hunt, but would be "open to talking to recruiters."
