Research Question (RQ): What is the comparability of employee satisfaction with their environment?
Purpose: The purpose is to perform a theoretical review of methods for checking the employee satisfaction in the company and prepare and empirically test a newly designed tool 'compass' according to the Life Design method.
Method: We performed a comparative analysis of 6 tools, methods, and techniques, including a new ‘compass’ tool. In the empirical part of the research we used a new method with DEXi analysis and compared the results with linear regression mathematically and graphically with the data from the ESS European Social Survey.
Results: With the preparation and use of the new 'compass' tool, we recognized that we can follow the organizational climate and employee satisfaction with the Life Design method. We have demonstrated that with data mining can identify key factors for assessing satisfaction in the living environment, which is numerically comparable to employee satisfaction.
Organization: We have presented aspects and elements that can help managers identify employee satisfaction versus satisfaction in their living environment.
Society: Based on the findings, we proposed a new tool that helps to increase personal satisfaction of employees and their environment and consequently improve the company’s performance.
Originality: In the theoretical part, we described in one place the selected tools, techniques and methods for determining the quality of work and life. We designed concrete proposals and proved their usefulness for analyzing the quality of the work and living environment.
Limitations / further research: We suggest that the applicability of the findings be checked with additional interviews ad on a larger population of companies and other institutions.
