The paper contributes to the existing job satisfaction models by introducing new exogenous variable – the regional tourist development. Tourism not only changes the regional economy and infrastructure, but also forms new cultural practices, reflects health attitudes` revision and greater leisure involvement, as well as represents the different decision making and judgment model. Consequently, we assume changes in the residents` behavioral model depending on the tourism development pace. We propose to identify the changes based on two-stage modeling with the help of multiple linear and nonlinear regression. First stage, we inspect the relationship between tourism development and cultural practices, as well as between tourism development and quality of life on the basis of objective data. Low tourism growth rates provoke an increase in both cultural practices and quality of life, however in the future, at medium growth rates, motivated beliefs in the residents` behavior begin to form disparate ideas about leisure time. Second stage, we added residents` self-assessment to build overall and exogenous models of job satisfaction. Under the influence of an exogenous variable, the impact of the material factor (salary satisfaction) on job satisfaction decreases, a new attitude to leisure is formed, which affects the change in the psychological health. The results revealed that one's own sense of sufficient labor-leisure balance decreases as the tourist flows increase and the social comparison effect trigger. Besides, the pace being high, the adaptation effect is developed through getting used to the flows of tourists and accompanied by constant updating of leisure programs, which is manifested in the increased effect of the work schedule satisfaction on job satisfaction.
