Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between students’ attitudes towards the recreation specialty and self-efficacy of the students in the Recreation Departments of Sports Sciences and Tourism Faculty. In the study, “Occupational Attitude Scale” developed by Üstüner in 2006 and “General Self-Efficacy Scale” that was adapted to Turkish by Yildirim and Ä°lhan and thereafter developed by Magaletta and Oliver were used. While the scope of the research comprised students studying in Recreation Department, Tourism Faculty, Gazi University and Recreation Department, Faculty of Sports Sciences, Atatürk University, the sample group consists of 79 females, 101 males, making a total of 180 students studying in these departments. It has been found that the data provide normality assumptions by looking at the Skewness-Kurtosis values. In this direction, parametric tests such as T Test and ANOVA were performed. Pearson correlation test was also performed to analyze the relationship between self-efficacy and occupational attitude. There is significant difference in terms of faculties of the participants, in terms of occupational attitude and self-efficacy students in favor of Faculty of Sport Sciences. There was also a positive relationship between occupational attitude and self-efficacy (r = 452). As a result, it can be said that they have higher occupational attitude because students of the Recreation Department at the Faculty of Sport Sciences have the opportunity to find more jobs than students of Recreation Department, Tourism Faculty. Also, the high level of self-efficacy of the students in the Faculty of Sports Sciences can be due to their sports knowledge. Key words: Recreation, occupational attitude, self-efficacy.

Summary
Self-efficacy perceptions have been found to influence decisions about what behaviors to undertake (Bandura et al, 1977; Betz and Hackett, 1981), the effort exerted and persistence in attempting those behaviors (Barling and Beattie, 1983; Brown and Inouye, 1978), the emotional responses (including stress and anxiety) of the individual performing the behaviors (Bandura et al, 1977; Stumpf et al, 1987), and the actual performance attainments of the individual with respect to the behavior (Barling and Beattie, 1983; Collins, 1984; Locke et al, 1984; Schunk, 1981; Wood and Bandura, 1989) These effects have been shown for a wide variety of behaviors in both clinical and managerial setting
