This Bulgarian national report is part of a comparative overview (EF/06/55/EN) of how job satisfaction is measured in national working conditions surveys based on 16 national contributions for the European Working Conditions Observatory (EWCO).
1. Aim and structure of the topic report questionnaire
The main objective of this topic report is to assess if and how the job satisfaction issue is dealt with in the national surveys and to bring forward some data and trends on job satisfaction. This topic report shall reveal how national surveys produce data on job satisfaction, focusing on the methodologies used and shall present available data on job satisfaction.
Thus, the questionnaire is divided into three main sections. The first section is mainly focused on the national surveys dealing with job satisfaction (priority given to the national working conditions surveys) and the methodological frame used. In this section, the national correspondents are basically asked to identify which surveys deal with job satisfaction, what questions are made, how questions are made and what definitions are used in those questions.
The second section is addressed to gather available data on general job satisfaction and job satisfaction broken down by some of its determinants. Whenever possible, trends should be identified. Finally, the last section is focused on the analytical aspects of job satisfaction. In this section, national correspondents are asked to identify correlations between job satisfaction and other variables related to organisational practices that may be present in national surveys data reports and to identify interesting pieces of conceptual or meta analysis of job satisfaction.
