Professional satisfaction is a particularly important issue, especially when it refers to teachers’ work, since they are responsible for education of the future generation. It is crucial that people in this profession are happy and do not suffer from burnout or frustration. The article presents issues concerning professional satisfaction and the most important activity zones of a teacher. The aim of the article is to show factors connected with teachers’ work which have the biggest impact on their professional satisfaction; an analysis of empirical research, followed by presentation of the results, serves as an exemplification thereof.
