Summary/Abstract: In an ever-changing vocational education and training system, teachers in secondary vocational education have a key role to play. We looked for answers to the following issues during our research: What effect does the prestige of the institution have on the teachers’ sense of professional success? Based on our online questionnaire survey, we analysed the subjective sense of the professional success of responding teachers (N = 168) and the role of knowledge transfer, value formation, socialisation, professional innovation, cooperation with colleagues and parents, creativity, problem-solving and self-learning success, as well as the existence of a professional qualification, participation in a disadvantage compensation programme and gender on their overall sense of success. Our hypothesis that the type of institution with higher prestige has a positive effect on lecturers’ sense of professional success was not confirmed, but different factors determine the feeling of success for each type of institution was confirmed.
