2018
There are many stereotypes about work in public sector. It is supposedly more stable, less hectic but in the same time offers smaller wages in comparison to a work in private sector. But does it provide more satisfaction to employees? The current study compares work satisfaction (Warr, Cook, & Wall, 1979) and subjective Well-being (Diener, Emmons, Larsen, & Griffin, 1985) as dependent on subjective and objective wage evaluations (Brown, Gardner, Oswald, & Qian, 2008; Walczak, 2017) and Core Self-Evaluations (Judge, Locke, & Durham, 1997; Walczak & Derbis, 2015).

2021
Companies have currently acknowledged that it does matter, how current and potential employees see them. Several companies see that they can develop their competitive advantage by creating and sustaining an attractive image of the company. It takes more than beautiful promises, future illusions and lovely pictures of the company – it has to be a culture based on certain values, which are attractive for the potential and current employees. It certainly is especially important for companies, who are operating in fields, where there is a lack of high skilled workers and where headhunting is inevitable. In the existing literature most of the researches are about attracting employees. However, b…

Does airlines’ eco-friendliness matter? Customer satisfaction towards an environmentally responsible airline
2022
The looming climate crisis requires an immediate response, also on an individual level. Consumers are being asked to reduce and replace their carbon-intensive consumption behaviors. One of the consumption behaviors with the largest impact is air travel. The growing awareness among consumers has led to the advent of flight shaming, which could seriously endanger airlines' existing business models. One way for airlines to respond to this threat is by becoming more eco-friendly. We therefore wanted to study whether the environmental responsibility of an airline could be positively associated with customer satisfaction and whether that could translate into more customer loyalty towards an eco-f…

The role of digital mediation devices in the satisfaction of art museum audiences
2019
The effects of «self-service technologies» (SST) (Curran and Meuter 2005) on the value and satisfaction of service experience (Lin and Hsieh 2007; Mencarelli and Rivière 2014; Meuter et al. 2003) have been little studied in the arts and culture field. The research explores the effects of the use of a digital mediation device on the museum experience and on the overall satisfaction of the public. The results of the analysis of 916 questionnaires collected from visitors to the Louvre Lens museum show that the use of a digital mediation device during the museum visit experience does not significantly impact overall public satisfaction with the visit.
