Abstract :This study was conducted to determine the effect of leisure facilitators on the job satisfaction of teachers working in public schools. A total of 201 teachers participated in the study voluntarily. In the study, demographic information was used in the first part, in the second part, the Leisure Facilitators Scale (LFS) developed by Kim, Heo, Chun, and Lee (2011) and adapted in Turkish by Gürbüz, Öncü, and Emir (2015), and in the third part, the Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale developed by Weiss et al. (1967) and adapted in Turkish by Baycan (1985) were used as data collection tools. SPSS 25.0 package programme was used for data analysis. Statistically, frequency analysis, reliability coefficient calculations, Pearson correlation analysis, hierarchical regression analyses and Manova analysis were performed. The analyses were performed according to the 95% confidence interval. As a result of the analysis between the participants\\\' leisure facilitators and age variable, a significant difference was found between the dimensions of personal facilitators and interpersonal facilitators. There was a significant difference between the participants\\\' job satisfaction and gender variable in the extrinsic satisfaction sub-dimension. As a result of the analysis between the leisure facilitators and the branch variable, it was determined that there was a significant difference only in the structural facilitators sub-dimension. As a result of the analysis between leisure time facilitators and professional experience variables, it was found that there was a significant difference only in the personal facilitators sub-dimension. It was determined that there was a significant differentiation between personal facilitators and structural facilitators sub-dimensions and leisure time evaluation variables (p<0.05). As a result, it was found that leisure facilitators had a significant and positive effect on intrinsic satisfaction (p<0.05).
