Abstract

Work is a basic form of human activity, and job satisfaction becomes a source of life satisfaction. This is particularly essential in the case of teachers. Studies prove that the higher the job satisfaction of teachers is, the lower the rates of burnout. The article presents the issue of professional determinants of job satisfaction derived by male and female teachers in the three stages of professional experience: professional adaptation – 1-5 years of practice; professional stabilisation – 6-20 years of practice; expert stage – 21-35 years of professional activity. It has been researched whether gender and job seniority determine the level of job and life satisfaction gained by the surveyed teachers. Additionally, the correlation between job and life satisfaction of male and female teachers in the specified periods of seniority has been presented.
