Summary/Abstract: The article addresses the issue of job negotiations carried out on the external labour market. As a result, candidates seeking a new employer can achieve work–life balance, measured, as the author assumes, by the level of life satisfaction. The course and outcome of the negotiation are influenced by different traits and skills whose relations with the psychological result of negotiation are studied by the author. The results of these explorations have both cognitive and applicative dimension; they may become a guideline for job candidates and recruiters representing their organisations.
