Self-Esteem As A Determinant Of Job Satisfaction
Self-Esteem As A Determinant Of Job Satisfaction

Summary/Abstract: This research paper investigates the relationship between self-esteem and job satisfaction, exploring how individual levels of self-esteem influence employees' perceptions of their job satisfaction, using a sample of 60 individuals aged between 35 and 59 years working in the field of asphalt mixtures. The main goal is to identify how self-esteem acts as a determinant of the level of job satisfaction as well as to identify gender differences in terms of job satisfaction. The research method involves the use of Rosenberg's self-esteem scale and Spector's Job Satisfaction Evaluation questionnaire. Statistical analysis revealed that self-esteem is an important determinant of employee satisfaction, as well as the absence of gender differences in job satisfaction. The findings suggest that self-esteem is a significant predictor of job satisfaction, that both men and women can experience job satisfaction equally, and that interventions to improve the work climate should be addressed to all employees, regardless of gender. These findings can serve as important directions for future research in organizational and managerial psychology.
