Abstract. Today job satisfaction is one of the most frequently investigated objects in
organizational research and one of the most complicated areas that face today's executives
who seek to avoid staff turnover and retain the best employees. High staff turnover as a
consequence of job dissatisfaction may have a negative impact on company finances, as the
recruitment, training, retraining of employess are not only costly but also time consuming. In
addition, satisfied employees tend to be more productive, creative and more committed to
their employers. As a result, employers are increasingly focusing on their employees, their
expectations and job satisfaction, as companies are currently experiencing a rapidly changing,
innovation-driven period that can lead to tensions and negative social consequences. Job
satisfaction is becoming an increasingly relevant topic as it threatens the loss of highly skilled
professionals and, consequently, market positions. The aim of the research – to analyze the
employee job satisfaction on the farmer's farm.
The research method – quantitative research. The quantitative research method is aimed at
gathering information expressed numerically and quantitatively. The methodology of

the phenomenon of interest - job satisfaction, employee attitudes to individual work objects,
and also because, in accordance with the aim of the research, the researcher focuses on the
consideration of predetermined human provisions (job satisfaction), and measurement.
