Job satisfaction has been the subject of many researches, both in Croatia and worldwide. Satisfaction shapes people's behavior and thus the way they perform their work assignments. Satisfied employees are crucial to the success of every organization, and the result of satisfaction are motivated and engaged employees. In the private sector, employers invest a lot of time and effort to find out what makes their employees happy and what does not, in order to eliminate any shortcomings that might affect employee satisfaction and engagement. In the public sector, the employee satisfaction monitoring system is not that well developed, and it is more difficult to progress in career through personal commitment. In public institutions, employees are protected by collective bargaining, which often results in reduced work engagement, as well as in dissatisfaction with working conditions and salary. Therefore, the aim of this master's degree is to investigate the connection between job satisfaction and engagement among primary school teachers. The research seeks to determine whether employees who are more satisfied with their job, invest more effort and engagement than dissatisfied ones. The degree consists of a theoretical part, explaining job satisfaction and engagement, as well as the relationship between job satisfaction and teachers’ engagement in primary schools. The second part of the degree covers the results of the empirical research. The aspects that have a bearing on teachers’ job satisfaction or dissatisfaction in the observed school have been identified. An average grade of teachers’ engagement and how differences in age and seniority affect the perceived satisfaction of teachers has also been determined.
