The IT sector has become the most productive sector, and programming one of the most influential professions today. With many different skills developers need to master, the job is also characterized by working on multiple projects at once, and stressing over unrealistic deadlines they have to meet. The consequences that will affect their well-being at work and in life, may depend on how frequently they use recovery strategies from work. Developers are often associated, in negative context, with the term perfectionism. Therefore, the aim of this work is to determine the possibility of prediction of the subjective wellbeing and job-related affective wellbeing based on perfectionism and recovery from work. The study was conducted on a heterogeneous sample of developers (N= 304), using Questionnaire of general data, Perfectionism Questionnaire, The recovery experience questionnaire, Job-related Affective Well-being Scale and Personal Wellbeing Index. The results of the study show that people with children, people with higher level of positive perfectionism, and those who recover from work using strategies of relaxation, skills aquisition and control experience more pleasant emotions at work. More unpleasant emotions at work will be experienced by men, people with higher education, people who work fewer hours a week overall, people high on positive perfectionism and people low on negative perfectionism. Higher subjective well-being will be experienced by people with higher education, people high on the dimension of positive perfectionism, people low on the dimension of negative perfectionism and people using control and relaxation as recovery strategies.
