Özet:

The aim of the study is to analyze the relationship between university students' leisure management and technology addictions in terms of some demographic variables. The research was carried out according to the correlational survey model. The sample of the study consists of 335 university students selected by convenience sampling method. The research executed at Kırıkkale University Faculty of Sport Sciences. The data were analyzed with the SPSS 26.0 package program and Cronbach Alpha internal consistency analysis, T-Test, ANOVA and Pearson Correlation analyzes were applied in the analysis of the data. While no significant difference was determined between the gender variable of the students and the Leisure Management Scale (LMS) and its sub-dimensions; Technology Addiction Scale (TAS) mean scores of male students were found to be significantly higher than female students. Whilst no significant difference was unearthed between the department variable and the LMS and its sub-dimensions, it was unearthed that the TAS score averages of the students of the coaching department were lower than the students of the other departments. When the participants' daily use of technological products and the LMS are examined; the leisure management levels of the students who use technological products more are significantly lower than those who use less. A significant difference was revealed between the students' technology usage time and the TAS and all its sub-dimensions. It has been determined that whenever the technology usage time of the students increases, their technology addiction also increases. A negative significant relationship was found between university students' leisure management and technology addiction. On balance, we can state that the increase in students' leisure management skills reduces their technology addiction.
