Lawyers about job satisfaction

Abstract

The solution of the problems associated with the rule of law state formation and improvement of the mechanism of the legal regulation depends mainly on lawyers as a social and professional group. Hence, the need for a thorough study of lawyers’ professional activities and the problems they face in their daily work appears. Also, it is necessary to have a clear understanding of whether the lawyers are satisfied with their work. Thus, the results of the author’s sociological study of the lawyers’ professional culture can be used to evaluate their satisfaction with the work they carry out.

According to the data presented in the article, the lawyers’ assessment of the degree of their satisfaction with their work in general is quite contradicting. More than half of the respondents consider themselves not quite satisfied with their jobs. The lawyers’ job satisfaction is significantly affected by their professional specialization, work experience, age, and gender. This is confirmed by the data presented in the article. The author emphasizes the need for further in-depth and comprehensive study of the problem under consideration using the resources of sociology.
