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. Dostupné na: https://doi.org/10.15804/tner.2020.59.1.01.
