“…Satisfaction is a concept that has been frequently studied in economics (Levin et al, 1980) and in education. Where higher education is concerned, most studies have focused on measuring the satisfaction of students and/or professors (Colton & White, 1985;Suldo et al, 2006;Botek, 2016;Bateman & McMahan, 2014, Mihanovic et al, 2016Arpilleda, 2017). Studies dealing with citizen satisfaction with higher education are poorly represented in the literature (Jones, 2016;Calderon & Crabtree, 2019).…”

The research subject of this paper is the satisfaction of the citizens of Rijeka with higher education as a public service. The papers aims to a) determine the elements of the construct of citizen satisfaction with higher education as a public service and identify opportunities to enhance citizen satisfaction, that is, raise it to a considerably higher level, and b) to contribute to the creation of higher-education policies in modern circumstances to ensure that all members of society are satisfied with this public service. Research starts from the main hypothesis that most of Rijeka's citizens are satisfied with higher education as a public service. Auxiliary hypotheses are also formulated. The main and auxiliary hypotheses are tested using descriptive statistics, cluster analysis, the t-test and variance analysis (ANOVA). The main conclusion of this paper is that the satisfaction of Rijeka's citizens with the quality of services provided by higher education is above average, in particular with the availability of occupations provided by the various types of faculties. On the other hand, the citizens of Rijeka are dissatisfied with the ties between businesses (employers) and the academic community, and with the low degree to which jobs are ensured for top students. Statistically significant differences, with regard to the level of satisfaction with higher education as a public service, are evident among citizens with different educational backgrounds.

The purpose of this study is to examine the factors that influence school life satisfaction based on personal variables, self-esteem, interpersonal relationships, and perception of the educational environment at a medical school in Korea. The data were collected from 228 medical students who agreed to participate in the study at a medical school. The Dundee Ready Medical Environment Measure (DREEM) and the self-esteem scale by Rosenberg were used. Questions measuring satisfaction of medical school life and interpersonal relationships (with professors, with senior/junior students, and with friends) were asked using a 5 point Likert scale. The data were analyzed by t-test, analysis of variance, and multiple regression analysis. The satisfaction of medical school life of male students was significantly higher than female students and increased with years of schooling. In DREEM, the students' perception of teachers decreased by school years. The relationship with senior and junior students of third year students was higher than other school years. The result of the regression analysis to determine the variables that affect satisfaction of medical school life showed that interpersonal relationships with senior and junior students, the students' social self-perception, and the students' perception of learning were significant. The results of this study will help medical schools in their plans to improve the level of satisfaction for the happiness and successful academic achievements of their students.
