Abstract: The behavior of employees, their attitudes and interest in work are the subject of countless studies and investigations. Many look at the issue of employee motivation and stimulation from the point of view of position, education, age or gender. However, within the available findings, there is no knowledge regarding the status of employees, although the very fact of whether an employee lives alone or with someone else presupposes different behavior. The aim of this paper was to find out whether the status “single” has an impact on behavior, performance, and job satisfaction of an employee. As part of the search for information on this issue, we came across interesting findings of many authors who devoted  themselves not only to this issue, but also investigated the issues of multicultural values, leadership, management in practice, education and other topics related to the influence of various factors on the performance and work of individuals. We tried to apply his survey, previously carried out in the USA and Canada to the territory of Europe/European Union, while taking into account multiculturalism and gender differences, since students participating in the Erasmus program took part in the survey too. We based our research on the fact that the shares and development of individual categories are the same in both regions.
