Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the possibility of prediction of job satisfaction based on the style of attachment (avoiding/anxious), with the mediating role of social comparison. 325 employees participated in the study, of which 125 female and 200 male. The data from the study shows statistically significant correlations between all variables. As for prediction, the obtained results suggest that based on the avoiding style of affective attachment, it is possible to directly predict a person's job satisfaction level, and that social comparison has a significant, albeit a partial mediation role in that relation. The anxious style of affective attachment did not achieve a statistically significant direct effect on the predictor, but, in combination with social comparison, a total effect that is statistically significant was found, which confirms that social comparison has the role of a complete mediator in the relation. The results were discussed in terms of set theoretical assumptions, the limitations of the study were brought up, as well as guidelines for future research.
