The sample was composed of 110 workers in public (n = 41) and private (n = 69) firms, 58 females and 52 males, aged 19-67. The results confirmed that some variables, related to the choice, predict workers’ well-being and satisfaction: congruence between ideal and real choices, decisional styles, professional values and positive self-image, in the dimensions of energy and emotional stability. Keywords: work well-being, job satisfaction, professional choices PB - FrancoAngeli ER -
