Summary/Abstract: The first part the article presents theoretical assumptions relating to issues associated with professional work, and in particular to assessment of job satisfaction. It emphasizes the complexity of this matter and its implications for theoretical and empirical research. The second part is an empirical illustration of the evaluation work among employees representing twenty-five European countries. Comparative analysis is based on the taxonomic method (linear and non-linear), which allowed to classify the countries under study in terms of the assessment of work based on aggregated opinions of employees. The data used in the analysis comes from European Social Survey 2010.
