The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between domains of the job satisfaction and components of subjective well‐being in nurses. A convenience sample of hospital nurses was recruited from six hospitals in C zech R epublic. Data were collected using a set of questionnaires that included the M c C loskey/ M ueller S atisfaction S cale, the P ositive A ffect S cale, the N egative A ffect S cale and the P ersonal W ell‐being I ndex. We confirmed low association between job satisfaction and subjective well‐being of nurses. Satisfaction with extrinsic rewards, co‐workers and family/work balance accounted for only a small percentage of variance in cognitive component of subjective well‐being. Positive affect was predicted by interaction opportunities and scheduling. Negative affect was predicted by interaction opportunities and scheduling and intention to leave the actual workplace. Low percentage of the variance suggests that subjective well‐being is not strongly influenced by job satisfaction.
