2013
In today's economy, companies must work harder than ever to attract, retain and motivate talented employees in order to foster employee satisfaction, and in order to do so, CSR practices can provide a strategic tool.

This paper highlights an empirical study of responses from 10 multinational companies regarding their corporate social responsibility initiatives as a way to attract and retain good employees, while providing an appropriate environment …
Employee Satisfaction Measurement – Part of Internal Marketing

Since 1980 service companies have realized that standards and technology are essential for the successful implementing of the adopted strategy, but not enough.

Should the government pay more to public sector employees? Impact of subjective, stereotypicalwage and core self-evaluations on job satisfaction and …
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). On a sample of N=625 employees (of which 18%; n=118 were employed in public sector) an impact of subjective (rather than objective…
Wage level or internal dispositions- what is more important in determining the satisfaction of employees on different posititions?
2016
The paper examines the mutual impact of both declared wages level and personal dispositions – core self-evaluations (Judge et al. 2003) on the perceived job and life satisfaction. Although the current consensus is that money does not guarantee happiness, a recent study by Kahneman and Deaton (2010) suggest there may be a positive money-life satisfaction relation, which is capped at a given level of income. The current study was conducted in 2015-2016 on a large sample (N=746) of Polish workers from different companies and organizational positions. The results, indicating that internal dispositions matter to a far greater extent than wages, are discussed in light of both selection and compen…

WHY DO OBJECTIVE WAGE LEVELS HAVE LESSER IMPACT THAN RELATIVE EARNINGS ON WORK SATISFACTION? COMPARISON OF OBJECTIVE AND SUBJECTIVE WORK EVALUATIONS …
2017
One of the main factors determining job selection decisions are wage levels. Yet a lot of studies show that wages have only a small, diminishing impact on job (and life) satisfaction (Easterlin, 2011; Diener and Biswas-Diener, 2002; Kahnemann and Keaton, 2010). Especially, the short term positive wage-increase effect, is moderated by attained level of income in relation to other’s people earnings (Clark, 2011). This allows for the hypothesis, that the individual evaluation of work compensation will have a stronger impact on work satisfaction than the direct effect of wages has. The presented study compares psychological and economical variable’s impact on job satisfaction. The results, in w…
