In 2018, 64 percent of employees in Germany said they could often plan and organize their own work. In 2006 the figure had been 68 percent. Only 29 percent said they often had influence on the amount of work assigned to them. The figures come from a large employment survey by two federal institutes, the BIBB for vocational training and the BAuA for occupational safety and health. The federal government reported them in 2019 in reply to a question from members of the Bundestag.
