SUBJECTIVE JOB SATISFACTION OF EMPLOYEES AND THEIR WILLINGNESS TO ACCEPT A NEW JOB FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF SELECTED SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS
This paper investigates statistically significant relationships between respondents’ age, level of education, and length of work experience and their subjective job satisfaction. In addition, it examines employed respondents’ decisions regarding the acceptance of a better job offer in relation to age, education, and work experience. Subjective job satisfaction was measured using a Likert-type scale, while the decision to accept a better job was assessed using three response options: yes, no, and undecided The findings reveal several statistically significant results. The highest level of subjective job satisfaction was identified amon respondents aged twenty-nine to forty-four years. Willingness to accept a better job was most pronounced among respondents in younger age categories. Furthermore, the highest proportion of respondents reporting positive job satisfaction was observed among those with university education. A high level of job satisfaction was also evident among respondents with more than four years of work experience. This group simultaneously demonstrated a willingness to accept a better job offer.
