Abstract:

The aim of the paper is to enrich the knowledge of employee satisfaction.  The hypotheses examined the differences between men and women in assessing selected attributes of employee satisfaction, and correlations between age and selected attributes of employee satisfaction. Empirical data were obtained by the questionnaire method by standardized Life Satisfaction Questionnaire (Fahrenberg et al., 2001). The items were assembled into five groups focusing on work and employment, the financial situation, leisure, one's own person, and relationships with co-workers to determine the rate of satisfaction. According to the results, women are more satisfied with the length and quality of time-out or the duration of holidays available additionally to employment. When assessing the life satisfaction of the employees of a particular company, there was a gender difference, and the men expressed their dissatisfaction with the financial situation, whether it was the number of wages, financial remuneration, or employee benefits. The results of the research show, the older employees are, the less they are concerned with the current and future situation, working conditions, obligations, and related benefits.
