Abstract

The paper presents a model based on the latent-structural analysis as a statistical method for studying of the satisfaction with the home employment in Bulgaria. The "causes", "advantages", "problems" and "work environment" are included as exogenous (input) variables, while the "effectiveness" and "satisfaction" are endogenous (output) variables. The data are obtained through two independent surveys - a postal inquiry and an inquiry in Internet. The theoretical model is tested using the diagonal assessed method of the least squares, applied to the primary matrix with polichorical correlation coefficients.
