Functioning of man in working conditions in a cognitive perspective is making decisions, doing a specific job and getting results. All of these three components are present in each work, but work in conditions of alternative employment sets different requirements to an individual with respect to the above-mentioned three components of work. In this article attention will be paid in particular to the third of these three components - the results of the work. These are the results that are critical for job satisfaction and its individual components. These three elements of human activity employed both on a permanent and temporary basis are present in nearly every motivation model (cf. Porter, Lawler 1967 and others). At the same time new categories of description and explanation of human behaviour spring up, since employment conditions are changing. Flexible employment is one of the most characteristic changes in the present times with regard to the relationship between an employee and an employer. The article presents the results of the author’s research on the sample of flexible employees.

The aim of this research project was to evaluate the impact of the temperamental traits and structure (as defined by Strelau’s Regulative Theory of Temperament) on the level of life satisfaction and job satisfaction (interpreted according to Zalewska’s Transactional Model of Quality of Life). The participants of the study were employees (N=199) having different jobs and from different workplaces. The results indicate that there exists a positive relationship between both types of satisfaction and activity and endurance as well as a negative relationship between the measures of satisfaction and emotional reactivity. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that activity and emotional reactivity are temperamental predictors of life satisfaction. The temperamental predictor of job satisfaction in the cognitive aspect is only activity, whereas in the case of job satisfaction in the emotional aspect - activity and endurance. The statistical analysis revealed that the temperament structure harmonising in the dimension of under-stimulation – over-stimulation has no correlation with any types of satisfaction.

Having satisfied employees is one of the key pillars of a successful organisation. Satisfied employees results in greater productivity and less staff turnover. There are several factors that influence overall employee satisfaction, these include the level of communication, the relationships with co-workers and the nature of the work. The aim of this study was to determine the degree to which certain factors influence overall employee satisfaction. The study was first carried out in 2013 and subsequently repeated in 2015. Both studies are mutually comparable. In total, 1,776 and 1,470 respondents were interviewed in 2013 and 2015 respectively (excluding incomplete questionnaires). There were some limitations to the study in 2015: the low proportion of respondents with lower levels of education and the large proportion of Czech-owned organisations. The surveys show that from 2013 to 2015 there was no significant change in the partial and total satisfaction of employees.

A characterization of companies of the SME sector in Poland demonstrates the importance of improving the process of human capital management. Analysis of the specific attributes of the companies in this sector and an evaluation of the human capital management system proves the advisability of improving the quality of incentive systems. Another argument is the level of job satisfaction and employee satisfaction. These findings are derived from research carried out on a representative, nationwide sample. It is for this reason that a rational direction for improving the incentive systems is the application of solutions based on a new paradigm that is concerned with the level of employee satisfaction. Such a paradigm becomes not only a substantive, but also an objective necessity under difficult management conditions.

Nowadays one of the principal objectives of vocational rehabilitation of the disabled is the adjustment of employment opportunities to individual preferences and capabilities of the group in question. The fulfillment of this goal requires a solid empirical basis which would provide information about the professional situation of the respondents and its determining factors. These issues are subject to discussion in the present work which demonstrates the results of studies conducted with the participation of professionally active people with disabilities. The analyses undertaken for the purpose aimed at determining the interdependence between the level of professional identification and job satisfaction. In order to realize this aim the researchers applied a set of self-devised analytical tools. The findings obtained from the studies, which should be regarded as a contribution to further exploration of the issues, made possible not only the description of the persons reporting a particular level of professional identification but they also facilitated the assessment of job satisfaction in terms of 1) compatibility of expectations and capabilities with job requirements, 2) career opportunities, 3) personal contribution to professional duties, 4) remuneration, 5) formal and organizational aspects of working conditions, 6) adjustment of physical conditions to the limitations resulting from disability, 7) social support (given and received) at workplace, as well as 8) social relationships. Last but not least, the findings helped to determine the degree of job satisfaction in the above mentioned categories among the persons reporting various levels of professional identification.

The issues broached by the article concern the interdependence of social roles assumed by adults. From the point of view of optimal conditions for offspring development, the level of adults’ involvement in parenting tasks and the degree to which the involvement depends on their professional and marital satisfaction is signifi cant. It is assumed, that involvement in the role of a mother or father has an effect on the functioning of both adults and their children, nalogous to professional involvement, which yields individual (shaping abilities and self esteem) and supra- individual (affecting an organisation’s efficiency) consequences. The article presents an attempt at an operationalization of involvement in parenting and the results of the relationships of the aforementioned adult activity areas. The research indicates that the exposed dependency is based on a correlation between both the overall marital satisfaction as well as its individual aspects. Whereas linear regression analysis indicates that the relationship between self-fulfi lment in a marriage, spouse intimacy and involvement in parenting is not statistically signifi cant. Also the level of marital disillusionment does not allow us to forecast adult involvement in parental tasks. The variable pertaining to marital satisfaction signifi cant for parental involvement is spousal similarity. Individuals who see similarities between themselves and their spouse exhibit higher levels of involvement. On the other hand, generalised professional satisfaction is not signifi cant when it comes to parental involvement. Only colleague satisfaction constitutes a significant, albeit weak predictor for parental involvement.

Job satisfaction is related to the match between an individual and the environment. This match gains special significance in the field of values. Behaviours of managers in a given organisation are the exemplification of values but also indicate what is important in a given culture. Since the requirements of corporate culture cause some unification of employees, it seems that for job satisfaction it will be important whether or not managers will ensure them individual treatment. Thus, the objective of the research conducted was to check what managers’ behaviours are most closely related to job satisfaction.

An average person spends almost a third of his life at work. It is therefore very important that the person is satisfied with their job. We could define job satisfaction as a factor with an important influence on increased quality in both professional and private life. The dissatisfaction of employees with their jobs is usually followed by fluctuation. This can be very damaging to an organization since employees are one of the most important resources.This article presents the results of various surveys on the satisfaction of police officers and detectives with their work, on fluctuation as a phenomenon and some of the reasons for it.In the empirical part of this article, the authors present a study done among the economic crime detectives working in the police directorates of Ljubljana and Maribor. The study showed that economic crime detectives are somewhat satisfied with their work but are still willing to change their jobs and leave the police for a better salary. The main factor for dissatisfaction is the low pay for their performance.

Purpose: This study primarily aims to provide insight into the role of deep acting and surface acting effects on customer satisfaction, with job satisfaction as the mediating and mentoring as the moderating variable. Methodology: The study employs SPSS 21 for the analysis of data gathered with a survey questionnaire. The survey involved a sample of 291 employees of Jordanian service firms. Findings: Obtained findings indicate significant direct relationships, with surface acting negatively related to both job satisfaction and customer satisfaction and deep acting positively related to both. The results support the mediating role of job satisfaction on the relationship between surface acting and customer satisfaction, along with deep acting and customer satisfaction. Moreover, the outcome substantiates the moderating role of mentoring on both acting types with job satisfaction. Implication: This is the first study to empirically examine the mediating role of job satisfaction on the employee emotional labor relationship with customer satisfaction in service companies of a developing country Methodology: The study employs SPSS 21 for the analysis of data gathered with a survey questionnaire.

Employee misconduct is prevalent in organizations and may be counterproductive in social and material terms. It is thus important to better understand how misconduct is construed by employees and the factors that determine its ethical acceptability in specific cases. This study explores attitudes towards unethical and minor deviant behaviours by examining the degree of acquiescence towards them in a sample of employees. Based on previous studies it was hypothesized that both organizational commitment and job satisfaction would be negatively related to the acceptance of such behaviours in organizational settings. Results show that there is a relationship between the degree of acquiescence and organizational commitment and a more modest relationship with job satisfaction. They further indicate that organizational tenure impacts very significantly on the degree of acceptance. Although differences were found for age, neither gender nor organizational variables were found to be significant.

Rural area represents the population with a high work capacity, but with less employment opportunities than in urban areas, so in order to have a decent job 5 (five) needs are referred to: working conditions should be safe, both physically and mentally, people should have access to medical facilities, health, working hours should be ones in which you can rest and have time for family and compensation should be acceptable for the work done. The employment opportunities that people have differ depending on the environment they come from, so in rural areas the job opportunities are discrete, as it is the quality in work, both of them depending strongly on the area characteristics - whether it is developed or underdeveloped- and by its infrastructure, always considering that agriculture is most increased activity in these areas. The study aims to map and depict the occupational situation of people living in Romanian rural areas, coping with limited job opportunities, compared to those living in towns and cities, as well as how people in rural areas choose their jobs, how the labour market has influenced them to find a suitable job and where they can get or acquire the skills they need. As people in rural areas choose to migrate, the population is an ageing one and over time, villages will depopulate and the labour force and human resources will shrink.

The study aimed to investigate the relationships between intra-organizational knowledge sharing and the absorptive capacity of a company - under conditions of two mediators: job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Identifying the relationships between these variables contributes to the development of the literature in the field of strategic management concerning the mechanisms creating the absorptive capacity of the company. Absorptive capacity is understood as the ability to acquire, assimilate, transform, and exploit useful external knowledge. The object of study was a company specializing in the production of high-quality insulating glass and special glass - one of the leading producers in this line of business in Poland. To test the hypotheses, the author performed the regression analysis, which revealed a direct relationship between the process of knowledge sharing and absorptive capacity. Above all, the results achieved show that intra-organizational knowledge absorption and transmission stimulates an increase in job satisfaction, which in turn leads to an increase in organizational commitment. Both changes result in a perceptible increase in the absorptive capacity of the examined company. The observed double-mediating effect constitutes the added value of the above investigations.

The article covers the issue of organisational attachment as well as the job satisfaction in the among staff under flexible employment in Poland. It presents the results of empirical studies covering 872 respon- dents employed (older than 40 years) under nine flexible forms of work: employed for a specified period of time, part-time, commission contracts (contracts of mandate), self-employed people, remote workers (telecommuters), for substitution, temporary and seasonal workers as well as employed under social economy. The research was exploratory in its character due to a lack of data on these variables in the Polish non-traditional forms of employment. Empirical results confirm that the results of organisational attachment and job satisfaction are average and probably don’t differ from the attitudes in traditional forms of employment.
