Abstract: This research paper aims to identify how implementation of Goal 8 "Decent work and economic growth" deriving from the UN Sustainable Development Goals is being perceived by employees of the public sector and private sector in Kosovo. This paper aims to investigate perceptions of the employees on decent work and explore the path how employees, employers, social partners and public policymakers contribute to a united response to the implementation of sustainability dimensions to foster community cohesion and promote common vision. In a discovery seeking environment, as a research method was used survey. The sample consists of 201 respondents that targeted employees of either private or public sector in different regions of the country. Data collected were analyzed using Independent T-Test and Spearman's rank order correlations. The study reveals that there is no mean difference between perceptions of females and males about the economic growth in the country and impact on incomes. Economic growth is moderately related with the opportunity of being able to cover basic living expenses. Moreover, the perceptions of the integrity protection at workplace and being able to cover basic living expenses is moderately intertwined with the equal pay for equal value. Safety and physical security at workplace is also moderately related to protection of integrity in the workplace. Perceptions of respondents on economic growth are moderately associated with working sector.
