Today, people spend a lot of their time in their work environments, so how they spend it and how it affects their everyday lives is important. The first part of my thesis presents the theories on the quality of working life and employee satisfaction, while the second part presents the results of the questionnaire and interviews carried out at the Social Work Centre Kočevje. The results show that the quality of working life is good (an average score of 3.6). The best-rated element is the schedule of working time, which has produced an average score of 4.4, and the worst-rated is the award element with an average score of 2.4. With regard to the length of service, the results showed that employees with a longer length of service rated items with a greater average score (3.7) than employees with a shorter length of service (3.5). In terms of age, the results indicate an average score of 3.3 in young employees and 3.7 in older employees. The management of the Social Work Centre Kočevje will receive feedback on which elements are satisfactory, to what extent the expectations of employees are being met, and where there might be a need for change. The implementation of changes will help improve employee satisfaction and thereby increase the organisation's performance.
