The aim of this study is to reveal the differences in academics' free time satisfaction, free time fatigue perception and work satisfaction levels. At the same time, it is to determine the ability of the free time satisfaction and the sense of fatigue in the free time to bring the work satisfaction of the participants. The sample group consisted of 129 women and 118 male academics. Participants have responded to "The Free Time Doyum Scale-SZDÖ" (Gökçe and Orhan, 2011), "The Free Time Fatigue Perception Scale-SZSAÖ" (Black and Ark., 2014) and "Minnesota Business Satisfaction Scale-MITÖ" (Baycan, 1985) . For data analysis, visual statistics, t-test, MANOVA, ANOVA and regression tests have been used. The results of the T-test analysis for independent samples showed that the women and men participants had a statistically significant difference between the average score of the "Relationship" of the "SZDÖ", the "Tomning" of the "SZSAÖ" and the "External Satisfaction" of the "MITÖ". The results of the MANOVA analysis showed that the basic impact of the individual’s participation status variable on the points of “SZDÖ”, “SZSAÖ” and “MITÖ” is meaningful, and according to the analysis results made in order to determine which dependent variable contributes to the multi-variable meaning, the “SZDÖ”, “SZSAÖ” and “Smile” and “MITÖ” have statistically meaningful differences in the subdimensions of “Internal Satisfaction” and “External Satisfaction”. Where significant differences are detected, the average scores of academics who are more frequently involved in exercise in all other subdimensions, except the subdimensions of "Smile" and "Incompatibility" of "SZSAÖ" are higher than others. The result of the regression analysis was found that free time satisfaction and fatigue perception were a meaningful promoter of work satisfaction. As a result, it can be said that the perception and satisfaction of free time on the work satisfaction of the participants are factor factors.
