摘要:The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of leisure satisfaction on physical education and sports teachers' job satisfaction. Data were obtained from physical education and sports teachers (N=230) working in public institutions in Turkey. First, an invitation message was sent to teachers including information about the study with electronic communication tools. Then, a questionnaire was sent to the teachers who agreed to participate in the study. The data were collected with two scales measuring leisure satisfaction and job satisfaction. The original form of the Leisure Satisfaction Scale (LSS) was developed by Beard and Ragheb (1), and adaptation studies into Turkish were done by Gokçe and Orhan (2) LSS consists of 24 items in its short form and 6 sub-dimensions: a) psychological, b) educational, c) social, d) physical, e) relaxation and f) aesthetic. JSS developed by Chang and Chang (3) and adapted to Turkish in sports sector by Yildiz (4) job satisfaction scale was used to measure job satisfaction. This scale, which has ten items, consists of internal and external satisfaction sub-dimensions. Descriptive analysis, reliability analysis, correlation, multiple regression analysis and hierarchical regression analysis were applied to the obtained data. Reliability of the scales was assessed using Cronbach's alpha. The values of Cronbach's alpha obtained for LSS (α=0.919) and JSS (α=0.790), indicating very good reliability scores and exceeding the 0.70 threshold cited in the literature. As a result of the hierarchical regression analysis, it was seen that leisure satisfaction had a significant and positive effect on physical education and sports teachers' job satisfaction.
