Abstract

In this research, the author investigates the impact of lifestyle and working process-oriented factors on the job satisfaction level of Software Engineers by analyzing conducted survey results. To design the survey properly, he employs Goals Questions Metrics (GQM) approach. By statistical analysis of a survey, the author identified ten significant factors on a confidence interval of 95%. The analysis shows that some of the factors, that software engineering society usually accepts as related to job satisfaction, have no tangible impact on workplace contentment. The author describes the multivariate regression model. He employs combining various factors to find out what metrics should project managers evaluate to predict the level of employees' job satisfaction. The author provides recommendations for project management and team leads on assessing and increasing developers' level of workplace contentment in accordance with study findings.
