PREDICTORS OF JOB SATISFACTION
PREDICTORS OF JOB SATISFACTION

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, we will present the results obtained following a research that aimed to analyse the associations between job satisfaction and a number of its predictors, such as: attachment style, friendships at work, gender, age, marital status and level of education. The first part of the present work presents a brief foray into the consulted specialized literature. The second part focuses on the methodology used – research questions, hypotheses and tools used in assessing the association between the previously mentioned variables. The obtained results show that people with a secure attachment style experience higher job satisfaction, compared to avoidants. Moreover, it seems that friendships at the workplace and the higher level of education of employees have a positive influence on increased job satisfaction. In contrast, there appear to be no significant differences between married and single employees, nor between male and female employees when it comes to job satisfaction.
