The job satisfaction of middle healthcare managers affects organizational results of healthcare facilities. Purpose of the paper is to explore the relationship between competent leadership and work conditions with the job satisfaction of middle healthcare managers and the role of job autonomy and social support as mediators of this relationship, and to verify the influence of moderators – evaluation and ability of psychological detachment on strength of this relationship. The sample of quantitative questionnaire research consisted of 225 mid-level managers of healthcare facilities in Slovakia. The data were processed using the SPSS 24 software package. The findings show that managerially competent leadership is directly related to the job satisfaction of middle healthcare management. This effect can be strengthened by evaluation of work; psychological detachment has the opposite effect on the researched relationship. Social support and job autonomy act as mediators, the influence of social support is particularly important.
