The study is one of the outputs of the project APVV - 16-0573 Application of the Model of Andragogical Counselling in the context of professionalization of the teaching profession. The aim of this part of the research was to find differences in life satisfaction of teachers and compare them depending on their position - managerial position vs. non-managerial position. The study is based on the conception of professional development as a continuous process including all dimensions of teacher personality development. The contribution presents results obtained from a modified Questionnaire of Life Satisfaction, while concentrating on identification of various factors in eight areas of the professional life of teachers at the given time for participants of continuing education (N 228, average age 43 years). It was found that respondents reported average to above average satisfaction in all areas studied. The highest level of satisfaction was expressed in the areas of health and relationship with pupils. They were least satisfied with their remuneration.

This quantitative study aimed at establishing the effect that the type of leadership style adopted by the head teacher has on the employed tutor’s satisfaction. The study sample comprised 11 school head teachers and 109 tutors. The research utilized two tools in the collection of data, the first of which was used for head teachers and the other for tutors in the institution. The research instrument used to collect data in relation to this dependent variable was a Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) questionnaire. This tool comprises 29 questions with Likert-type items that deal with job satisfaction. The results of the study show that the leadership style employed by the head teacher does not affect tutor satisfaction in a statistically significant way.
