Abstract

Contemporary emphasis is placed on concepts that look at intrinsic and extrinsic factors that influence work activity in the workplace. This research focuses on identifying differences and correlations between concepts that designate the influence of frustration and loneliness on job satisfaction. A sample of 60 people, 31 women and 29 men, 27 rural and 33 urban, was assessed with the following instruments: the Basic Psychological Job Satisfaction and Frustration Scale-General Measure and the Workplace Loneliness Scale. The results show that significant differences were found between women and men in terms of perceived loneliness at work. On the other hand, a negative correlation was found between loneliness and frustration of the need for autonomy. Significant differences were also found in terms of background and satisfaction of the need to relate at work, where those from urban areas scored higher. The results of the research are analysed and discussed, thus gaining insights into loneliness, frustration and overall perceptions of job satisfaction.
