The study was conducted on a total of 103 physical education and sports teachers, 40 females and 63 males, with an average age of 40.01±6.65, working at schools in different cities (Samsun, Ordu, Adana and Istanbul) in Turkey in 2019-2020 academic year. The data of the study were collected using demographic information form containing personal information and Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire. T-test and Mann Whitney U test were used during the evaluation of the data and one-way variance analysis (Anova) and Kruskal Wallis test were performed on items where variables were examined in multiple groups. It was concluded that the teachers participated in the study had high job satisfaction levels; no statistically significant difference was observed in terms of gender, seniority, marital status, grade of education and job status variables (p>0.05) . That they share the common feelings and excitement intensely in the competitions attended by the students they have prepared as athletes and that the successful results obtained in these activities are appreciated and congratulated can be interpreted as factors increasing their commitment to work and the pleasure they receive from work.
