Summary/Abstract: Objective. Our empirical study investigates whether there is a difference in job satisfaction in relation to targeted physical activity. It deals with the context of changes in body constitution and job satisfaction, the quality of workplace relationships and motivation to exercise. At the same time, it examines the differences in job satisfaction between men and women. It notes the impact of exercise on the personality characteristics of a person, especially on the degree of anxiety, the rate of depression, in the period before starting with regular exercise and after repeated physical activity for 4 months. Method. 77 respondents participated in the research, where differences in the level of job satisfaction were detected before and after regular sports activities. The sample of respondents was composed of 46 women and 31 men, with 75.3 % of participants aged 20-30. In terms of work orientation, the research sample is divided into 52 % of technical professions and 25 % of assisting professions. In research, we use Zung's self-assessment scale of depression, Beck's anxiety inventory, five-factor personality model – Big Five and Body Mass Index. Results. In the study, we point to the interrelationships between variables. We deal with the positive link between exercise and job satisfaction. At the same time, we point out the positive relationship between job satisfaction, motivation to performance and the quality of workplace relationships. Conclusions. Research points out that physical and psychological conditions largely affect the survival and behavior of man in the workplace. Limits. The results of the study could be affected by the understanding of the questionnaire. It is possible that respondents have responded to their feelings directly after exercise. This aspect could affect the responses in the variables depressive and anxiety.
