In addition, when interpreting scientific literature, the worker's attitude to work is assessed, depending on the individual provisions: motivations at work, opportunities to choose freely, the commonality of the company's and employee's values, and other personal factors. Also, by grouping and comparing the work of various authors, a combination of factors of satisfaction with professional activity is suggested.
