Abstract: This paper draws attention to the importance of employee satisfaction in the transportation and logistics service industry. For research purposes, Spector’s job satisfaction survey was used, which observes nine facets of job satisfaction, helping us to outline the viable measures that could improve employee satisfaction in the selected company. The research indicates that the employees were satisfied with their supervision, co-workers and the nature of work. Indifference was expressed with respect to payment, rewards, benefits, working conditions and communication. Dissatisfaction was only identified in the field of promotion opportunities. The identified facets that trigger different feelings of satisfaction also serve to explain the possible consequences fort the effectiveness of the selected transportation and logistics service company and the whole industry sector as such.
