The job design of health organizations is one of the ways to provide motivation and job satisfaction, which are key determinants of the quality of health care. In this context, the research of social, motivational and contextual factors of job design is most often performed. However, results often show that there are differences in the perception of these elements of job design, which depend on some socio-demographic characteristics of employees. Therefore, the aim of the paper is to determine which group of elements of job satisfaction stands out as the most important for health differences and which are the factors that affect the perception of job design of health workers. Empirical research and methods of t test and ANOVA test found that there are some statistically significant differences in the perception of the design elements of health organizations of employees of different genders. In addition, the results of the analysis showed that there are differences in the perception of employees of different ages, education and length of service. The obtained results may help human resource managers to define job design that will have a positive effect on the satisfaction and motivation of employees, and thus enable higher quality health care.
