The latest census of the CPOR shows that more than a half of economically active Czech citizens are satisfied with their jobs. Another two fifths of respondents state that they are half satisfied and half unsatisfied. Job dissatisfaction was expressed only by 6% of respondents. Satisfaction with one’s job differs between those who are employees and those who are entrepreneurs managing small, medium or large enterprises; three quarters of entrepreneurs are satisfied with their jobs compared to only a half of those who are employees.
Further, we were interested in respondents’ contentment with individual aspects of their work. More than three quarters of economically active inhabitants of our country are satisfied with the way their expertise is being utilised, with their commuting time and with the interesting aspects of their jobs. More than two thirds of employees are also satisfied with relations at the workplace, with the length of working hours, system of shifts, organisation of work at their workplace, with their superiors, with material possessions and equipment at the workplace and with the intensity of work. Respondents’ satisfaction also prevailed for all other surveyed aspects of work with the exceptions of a salary (approximately two fifths of respondents were satisfied with their salaries and three fifths were not) and the prospect of a salary increase or promotion to a better job (their satisfaction was expressed only by one quarter of respondents).
