Researches show that in order to achieve effective results, employers need to delicate the balance between work-employee needs in the implementation of flexible working arrangements. Flexible working arrangements in enterprises are considered as important intermediary of balancing the employee's work and other commitments. Life satisfaction expresses one's feelings and thoughts as a result of evaluating life as a whole with the criteria that he / she finds important. This study aims to determine whether flexible working affect life satisfaction of employees. The sampling consists of 82 participants from ten different companies who apply flexible working hours. The data from the surveys were analyzed with SPSS (25) program. The scales used for the research are based on Albion’s (2004) Flexible Working Scale and Diener et al.’s (1985) scale of life satisfaction. The results show that there is no relationship between these two variables, in other words flexible working perception does not affect life satisfaction perception. In the study, positive perceptions of the participants about flexible work and life satisfaction were found to be moderate. After the analysis on whether flexible working and life satisfaction showed a significant difference according to demographic variables, it was seen that the employees who have undergraduate and higher university degree have more positive flexible working evaluations than the others.
