Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study was to explore the factors that could alleviate the negative consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on employee life satisfaction. We analyzed personal resources such as belief in free will and self-evaluated work efficiency, as well as condition and energy resources related to wor- king conditions (i.e., employment stability, remuneration, and change on mode of work) as moderators of the relationship between COVID-19 fear and COVID-19 worries and life satisfaction. The results showed that life satisfaction among employees was negatively associated with COVID-19 worries, belief in free will and remuneration level. However, it was not associated with COVID-19 fear. The results also indicate that belief in free will may be a personal resource that increases life satisfaction only when the level of this arousal is low in the case of worries of COVID-19.
