Findings: In the research section we are trying to answer the question of what determines job satisfaction of the group of selected respondents and thus what factors and to what extent shape it in the organisations under study. Practical implications: A high level of job satisfaction of employees allows to achieve business objectives. Originality/value: The value of the article is the confirmation that keeping the job satisfaction in organization is important in order to keep work engagement.
