This study was aimed at studying the attitude of faculty working at Ege University towards sports and their level of life and work satisfaction in terms of their habit of getting exercise. In this study, "life Satisfaction Scale" developed by Diener,. Emmons,. Larsen and Griffin(1983) and tested on reliability by Yetim, Ü.(1991), (revised splthalf:0.745, Kuder-Richardson form 20:0.78) was used(Yetim, 1991:125).In addition to this, "General Job Satisfaction Scale" developed by J.R. Hockman and C. Oldham was used. The reliability test of the scale was made by Gödelek, E.(1989), (r-test correlation .80, p<.001), (Türnüklü, 1992:39). The sample group of the study comprised 402 faculty members working at Ege University. Statistical analysis of the data was made at E.U. Computer Practice and Research Center. Statistical level of significance was agreed to be .05. It has been observed that there is a significant difference between the faculty members' economic level and status and their life and job satisfaction. However, the difference is not significant between their economic level and status and their level of getting exercise. It has been concluded that the higher the level of life and satisfaction, the higher the percentage of getting exercise.
