Introduction: radiological engineer is a mebmer of medical team who, with their work, is a part of diagnostic and therapy procedures. Diagnostic services have one of the most important functions in medical treatment, and are important part of medicine. Employees have to bear in mind that they cocreate working environment and provide appropriate working and organizational conditions with their work. Well being and satisfaction in the working environment is a desire of every employee. Employees' satisfaction is represented by a broad spectrum of factors which affect work satisfaction and satisfaction with individual aspects of work. Objective: objective of the research is to study and analyse the degree of satisfaction among radiological engineers in selected medical institutions (General hospital Novo mesto, General hospital Brežice, Health center Novo mesto), and to identify crucial factors which contribute to satisfaction of the radiological engineers in their work environment. In the process, the goals have been set which include the analysis of various factors and their influence on satisfaction, and suggestions for improvement of working conditions. Methodology: Two methods of work have been applied. In the theoretical basis, work of radiological engineers, definiton of work satisfaction and description of factors which influence work satisfaction have been introduced. In the empirical section of the thesis, a survey consisting of 19 questions has been used as a measuring instrument, and distributed among radiological engineers. Results were analysed with the programme SPSS and compared with similar surveys performed, testing the hypothesis with t-tests and the Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: more than half of respondents are employees of General hospital Novo mesto (64.3 %), 17.9 % of respondents are employees of Health center Novo mesto and General hospital Brežice, respectively. On average, the respondents are satisfied with their work (M=3.97; SD=0.834). The greatest importance is attributed to good relations among the employees (M=9.37), which is followed by appropriate wage (M=9.17), with the employment security in the third place (M=9.10). In the opinion of the respondents, better organization of work, better connectedness of the team, and better management would contribute to greater satisfaction. Discussion and conclusion: Discussion and conclusion emphasize the need for better organization of work process, improvement of management and support from superiors, and improved focus on team work. Satisfaction of radiological engineers fundamentally influences quality of their work, therefore it is important that medical institutions develop strategies of support and motivation for their employees.
