Summary/Abstract: Objective. The aim of the paper is to analyze the relationship between the work satisfaction of the grammar school teachers and perceptions of the meaningfulness of their own work, ie phenomena that are based on the evaluation of work and working conditions and can be assumed to be related to working behavior. The influence of the personality features included in the Big Five five-factor model is also monitored. Method.
