Abstract
This article presents a study of employees in small and medium-sized companies, specifically team members, in terms of their talent and life satisfaction. The main objective of the research was to assess the specific links between talent and life satisfaction in employees from five European countries. The study surveyed 298 individuals from Belgium (N = 69), Cyprus (N = 52), the Czech Republic (N = 61), Poland (N = 54), and the UK (N = 62) using the Satisfaction With Life Scale - SWLS (Diener, Emmons, Larsen, & Griffin, 1985) and the ComTal-Team Member test (Talik, Wiechetek, & Dean, 2018), an electronic tool that measures the components of talent: competence, commitment, and contribution. Employees of small and medium-sized companies show a positive correlation between talent and life satisfaction. Differences in talent components and dimensions exist among team members from different European countries.
