This paper aims to present the quality of life for employees in Romania and Hungary, emphasizing\r\nthat of the highly qualified employees, according to some academic and business journals in these\r\ntwo countries. The research methodology consisted of a content analysis performed on six\r\nRomanian economic scientific and business journals, three printed and three online, and also on\r\ntwo Hungarian economic journals, one business printed and one scientific online. The content\r\nanalysis grid included criteria such as different dimensions regarding the quality of life for\r\nemployees, the key terms (ideas, phrases) most used for each dimension separately etc. The period\r\nfor journals content analysis was between 1 January 2009 and 30 June 2011. The paper contains a\r\ncase study for each journal, including the abstracts of the most relevant articles on the research\r\ntheme. Concluding, we identified many similarities between Romanian and Hungarian journals\r\nanalysed, the most important is that in all journals the aspects of quality of life for employees are\r\nrarely approached; in addition, the complaints specific to knowledge workers, regarding work\r\nintensity, overload, management style, work-life balance etc., are found only as an exception. On the\r\nother hand, the articles� authors insist on subjects relevant for the economic crisis: decreases of\r\nwages, dismissals etc.
