Beijing (PingWest)—iPrice Group, a privately owned online shopping aggregator based in Kuala Lumpur, released a study on the gender diversity and job satisfaction of the top three e-commerce companies in 7 Asian countries/regions.

Gender Diversity in Top-Level Roles

In e-commerce companies in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong, only 31% of women have C-level roles, while 69% of these titles are held by men.

The same goes for the Vice President positions. 62% of Vice Presidents in Southeast Asia’s top e-commerce companies are men, while only 38% are women.

However, when it comes to Senior Vice President (SVP) roles, the gap is smaller. 44% of the top e-commerce SVPs are women while 56% are men. Similarly, the gap is smaller in department head roles. 41% of these roles are taken by women, while 59% are taken by men.

Comparing all 7 seven countries/regions, Hong Kong has the highest percentage of women in power in the top e-commerce companies in Southeast Asia, where 55% of the top-level roles are actually women. Vietnam and Thailand trail behind Hong Kong at 46% and 44% respectively.

Job Satisfaction in the Seven Countries/Regions Top E-commerce Companies

Overall, employees don’t seem to loathe working in the e-commerce industry of Southeast Asia.

Indonesians are the most satisfied with the e-commerce industry as a workplace. According to iPrice’s data gathered from Glassdoor, Indonesians give these e-commerce companies a 4.3-star rating. 90% of the participants would recommend these companies to a friend, while 97% of them approve of their CEOs.

The next most satisfied employees are Filipinos. They give their top 3 e-commerce companies a 3.8-star rating, while 76% of them would recommend the companies to friends, and 87% of them approve of their CEOs. It’s quite interesting since the Philippines has one of the lowest recorded salaries (US$588/mo) among the seven countries, right after Vietnam (US$394/mo).

Despite having the highest salary among the seven countries (US$3,116/mo), Singaporeans seem to be the most unsatisfied with working in the top e-commerce companies. Participants of Glassdoor only gave an average of 3-stars to the top three e-commerce companies in Singapore. Only a little more than half of them (53%) would recommend these companies to a friend, and only 66% of them approve of the CEO.
