Summary/Abstract: The opportunity to learn is one of the factors of the work environment that influences job satisfaction. This article aims at showing the impact of lifelong learning opportunities on job satisfaction. The quantitative research was carried out among employees of Dean’s offices in Polish public and private universities. The study used the MOAQ-JSS job satisfaction questionnaire, the satisfaction with remuneration questionnaire, and the proprietary lifelong learning questionnaire. The statistical effect of mediation was examined using the regression analysis method. The impact of learning opportunities offered by the employer on job satisfaction was noted. Satisfaction with remuneration turned out to be a partial mediator of this dependence. Satisfaction with remuneration, in turn, increases job satisfaction. These dependencies are independent of the age of the employees. The article contributes to a better understanding of the factors influencing job satisfaction and the motivational role of lifelong learning.
