This article deals with commuting to and from work of workers in Slovakia as a part of traveling and its impact on private life of commuters. It provides a more comprehensive view on the socio-demographic determinants which affect the travel mode choice. Furthermore, the study offers several evaluations of the impact on the subjective well-being of commuters. The aim of the article is to review demographic and economic determinants influencing the travel mode choice and to determine its impact on the subjective well-being of respondents. On a sample of approximately 1000 economically active individuals by using several statistical tests (Nominal Logistic Regression, Fisher’s Exact Test, Mann-Whitney Test, Cochran Test, McNemar Test), we identified the determinants affecting the travel mode choice of respondents, including commuting time costs, commuting financial costs, income of respondents, education, gender, type of employment and place of work. This study has also showed that respondents are the most satisfied when commuting by bicycle or on foot and the most dissatisfied when commuting by using public transport. These facts, among others, should be reflected by the creation of sustainable and “green” transport infrastructure in Slovakia.

The aim of the article is to quantify and compare the length of total time spent with paid work (within working hours, beyond working hours and commuting) of the respondents based on gender and to identify the nature of its overlaps with the respondents' private lives based on their subjective feelings of satisfaction. We processed the analytical part based on primary data which were obtained through the questionnaire survey conducted in 2018, and which was part of the VEGA n. o. 1/0621/17 research project. 1 819 respondents, who were part of 732 households, participated in the questionnaire survey. Through the analysis of the survey results we found out that men spend more time in favour of paid work and related activities compared to women. Simultaneously, we can state that these activities are unlikely to have signifi cantly more negative impact on women's private lives than on men ones..
