This paper verifies empirically the link between employee job satisfaction and the rate of failure, understood as cessation of activity. The authors examine a sample of nine industrial sectors during the period 2007-2010. The results show that job satisfaction reduces the failure rate in the business sector and they highlight the importance of employees attitudes regarding working conditions, especially in difficult economic and financial situations.
