Gender, Education and Marital Status as Determinants of Job Satisfaction

Abstract

The issue of job satisfaction has been discussed by the researchers and managers of organizations for several decades. There are many different approaches to the issue. Currently, it is possible to find the research dealing with psychological aspects determining the level of job satisfaction, the research analysing the role of satisfaction and work motivation and the research focused on the consequences of job satisfaction and dissatisfaction. This paper describes how the job satisfaction of employees differs (if so) depending on their gender, level of education and marital status. It was found that people with university education rate their job satisfaction better, than people without university education. Similarly, people in a relationship evaluate their job satisfaction better than people without a relationship. No significant differences in general job satisfaction were found between men and women. The data for the research are based on a questionnaire survey, attended by 4,728 respondents from the Czech Republic working in various industries and in the enterprises of various sizes.

Description of Islamic Job Satisfaction

“…Division/ Organization of employee placement greatly affects employee job satisfaction because it is influenced by several factors such as work culture, coworkers, superiors and how the job matches the employee's abilities. This is supported by previous research conducted by Agustriyana [43] where the employee placement variable has an influence of 69% Uhlir and Rehor [46] who found that people who studied at the university level at the diploma/ graduate level felt they had better job satisfaction than people who did not study at the university level. This is also supported by the opinion of Notoadmodjo [47] which states that the level of education greatly influences a person's level of knowledge which also has an impact on a person in receiving and understanding the information obtained.…”

Factors impacting the Czech employees' job satisfaction

“…This empirical study contributed to the body of knowledge on the factors impacting employees' job satisfaction in the context of the Czech Republic. Inspired by the international (Kaiser, 2007;Wilczyńska et al, 2016;Coo et al, 2020) and Czech context unique studies (Franěk et al, 2014;Čábelková et al, 2015;Uhlíř and Řehoř, 2020), the provided findings extend the regional state of the art from the perspective of statistically representative empirical analysis of Czech employees (N=12,699), extracted from the 2017 edition of the European Union Labour Force Survey (EU LFS). This article's novelty is a more complex understanding of the occupational and organizational aspects of job satisfaction.…”

“…Also, we addressed some contradictory observations of earlier studies regarding gender. Uhlíř and Řehoř (2020) found no differences in satisfaction between employed men and women, and Lange (2009) observed higher satisfaction among women. In contrast, studies by Franěk et al (2014) and Čábelková et al (2015) observed higher satisfaction among men, which was also the case in the conducted analysis.…”

“…A later study by Sokolová et al (2016) studied the importance of benefits and overall payroll and observed a significant correlation with job satisfaction. Uhlíř and Řehoř (2020) found in their recent study (N=4,728) that highly educated employees are more satisfied with their jobs but observed no significant differences between men and women.…”
