Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study is to create a characterisation of the careers of women satisfied with their work. Design/methodology/approach: The quantitative study was conducted by survey (CAWI) using an online questionnaire on a sample of 517 women. The questionnaire included single and multiple choice, open-ended questions. The survey lasted 9 months (February-October 2022) and included economically active women working in medium or large enterprises in south-eastern Poland. Responses were elicited through a 'snowball' effect and invitations to participate in the survey sent to organisations meeting the criteria. Statistical analysis included descriptive characteristics and tests of intergroup comparisons. Findings: On the basis of the research carried out and the results obtained, it is possible to indicate the characteristics of the professional career of a woman demonstrating satisfaction with her work. She is a woman aged 35, with children and living in the Małopolskie Voivodeship. She is employed as an independent specialist or holds an executive position in health care, services or financial activities and earns more than 10 500 PLN gross per month. She has significant professional experience gained in her previous work in three different organisations. Her professional career is of great importance to her and she ensures its regular development by taking courses to develop her hard skills and by training independently from her work in the organisation. Research limitations/implications: The results refer only to the surveyed group, without the possibility of generalisation. The division of female respondents into groups according to job satisfaction may be a simplification that does not take into account the complexity of shades of satisfaction. The research covers only a fragment of the subject of job satisfaction among women, constituting an introduction to further research, e.g. broadening the scope of job satisfaction among women, referring to an aspect other than professional career, examining satisfaction in different regions of Poland or comparing results on a national scale. It would also be interesting to conduct an analogous study among men and analyse gender differences. Originality/value: In view of such a diverse approach to the topic of job satisfaction, however, there are few Polish studies relating to the context of women's careers, set in the realities of the domestic labour market. Therefore, it seems justified to take up the topic of women's careers demonstrating job satisfaction discussed in the article.
