“…This broadened definition served as a base for one of currently most popular measures of economic development, which is the United Nations' Human Development | 155 Index (HDI). Numerous research aims to link individual human perceptions of QoL with various fields of economics, just to name Maslow (1954), Abel-Smith and Townsend (1965), Atkinson (1983;2003), Sen (1985;1992), Schuessler and Fisher (1985), Layard (2005), Stiglitz, Sen and Fitoussi (2009), Alkire andFoster (2011), Şerban-Oprescu (2012), Chang, Travaglione and O'Neill (2015), Tang and Hornung (2015), Ulman and Šoltés (2015), Neumark and Muz (2016), Simkins and Peterson (2016), Uysal, Sirgy, Woo and Kim (2016) and others. Recently a growing number of publications with focus on combining private and professional life, i.e.…”

“…In the last three decades, the multidimensional approach based on Zadeh's (1965) fuzzy set theory has primarily been used in research into poverty. Among those who used the fuzzy sets theory were Cerioli, Zani (1990), Cheli (1995), Betti, Cheli, Lemmi, Verma (2005, and in Poland Panek (2011), Ulman, Šoltés (2015).…”

The paper aims to measure individual and social hybrid well-being, which takes into account the Quality of Life Paradox and compares the results of the selected European countries by creating a country ranking. The paradox refers to an existing disparity between the real quality of life experienced by people and their subjective state of being happy. The hybrid wellbeing approach is a philosophically inspired attempt to overcome the weaknesses of both subjective and objective well-being theories.Based on a multidimensional concept of well-being, which follows Sen and Nussbaum's capability approach, we have applied the fuzzy sets theory to data from the European Quality of Life Survey to calculate the objective well-being of people living in the selected European countries. Then we have measured fittingness of their objective to subjective well-being by the Fitting Index (FI). Finally, we have constructed the countries' ranking of well-being and compared it to other rankings based on happiness, functionings achievement, and GDP per capita. The analysis shows that the country ranking based on hybrid well-being differs from the one created on the basis of GDP per capita, and it is not perfectly correlated with other rankings. Therefore, this means that the hybrid well-being based ranking may contain additional information as compared to other rankings. The paper also indicates that citizens of wealthier countries, living in relatively highquality circumstances, do not have a lower level of subjective well-being (happiness) more often than their counterparts from the Eastern European countries.

“…Nevertheless, this ratio is crucial for QoL perception by the individuals, as stated by Hansen (2015). QoL research in Economics has gained momentum in past decades with works of such researchers as Maslow (1954), Abel-Smith & Townsend (1965) distribution of welfare, Graafland & Compen (2015)life satisfaction, Atkinson (1983) social inequality, Sen -(1979Sen -( , 1993 welfare, wellbeing and socio-economic capabilities), Schuessler & Fisher (1985) -QoL theory), Layard (2005) happiness, Stiglitz, Sen & Fitoussi (2009) socio-economic development, Alkire & Foster (2011) and Ulman & Šoltés (2015) poverty measurement, Şerban-Oprescu 2012…”

Objective: the paper presents the results of ranking of the significance of quality of life determinants by University students that are starting professional activities. Research methodology: literature review; elaboration of an AHP decision-making model; twostage expert selection; significance rankings by experts and a graphical and descriptive presentation of obtained results. Research sample: 14 experts out of almost 200 University students. Research outcome: a decision-making model that aims at maximizing the life satisfaction of future employees as a function of their individual assessments of significance of particular determinants of quality of life. Research implications: a more accurate adaptation to trends on the labor market and creation of new business models. Research limitation: narrowing the group of experts to University students. Value added of the research: better-motivated employees with a satisfactory level of work-life balance will contribute to an increase of societal satisfaction level.
