Summary/Abstract: The present paper focuses on the employee adaptation in social service facilities in the social work health setting. The main research objective is to arrive at the social service employees’ view of their adaptation in the workplace — social service facilities. We examine the employee’s adaptation process considering their job assignment, their satisfaction with working conditions, and feedback from their superiors. The issue is examined through a questionnaire on a sample of 101 respondents (N=101). The data obtained from the respondents show that the employee’s job assignment is a factor causing differences in getting acquainted with the employee’s adaptation process. The research has shown a statistically significant difference between the respondents’ qualification and their satisfaction with the adaptation process in social service facilities. The last factor examined was the respondents’ age and the feedback from superiors, which showed a statistically significant difference after verification. Employee adaptation is an important factor not only for social service facilities but also for establishments in general, as only properly adapted employees are able to carry out their duties in accordance with the goals and policies of a facility showing in the context of social work health.
