Abstract
Human, the most valuable capital of organizations, is the most effective success factor in achieving the set goals. For this reason, Jobes that set success and progress in their vision try to make all the variables affecting the human factor suitable for the benefit of the Job in order to increase their productivity. The fact that the general quality of life is positive for the individual is a critical factor that is stated to have a relationship with the organizational variables that affect the productivity of the employee. In this study, the compatibility of quality of life with and job satisfaction and job performance, which are thought to be related to this phenomenon (by creating a study model), was tested with the data obtained from sports center employees. The population of the research is the individuals working in sports clubs in Ankara province. The data were collected by online survey method and 423 employees participated in the survey. The collected data were analyzed in SPSS 27.0 statistical program. Frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation values were used to make descriptive statistics of demographic factors and scale scores. Skewness and kurtosis values were analyzed to determine the normality distribution of the scales. Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were used to test the hypotheses. A moderate, positive linear relationship between quality of life and job performance level (r=.436, p=.000) and a moderate, positive linear relationship between quality of life and job satisfaction (r=.344, p=.000) were found. As a result of the research, the two hypotheses were found to be compatible with the literature and it was stated that the model was compatible with the data.
