The study includes the results from the modified Life satisfaction questionnaire (J. Fahrenberg – M. Myrtek – J. Schumacher – E. Brähler), and we concentrate on identification of certain factors in six different areas of teachers’ professional life (N159, average age - 41 years old). We discovered that the respondents are extremely satisfied in all areas included in the assessment. The differences in satisfaction that were found in certain areas between Slovak teachers and their teaching compatriots were predominantly in favour of their teaching compatriots .
