EXAMINING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SCHOOL SATISFACTION AND LIFE SATISFACTION

Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the school satisfaction and life satisfaction levels of university students. While school satisfaction expresses a general evaluation of students for their school, it also shows how satisfied they are with their university. Life satisfaction, on the other hand, is the positive or negative evaluation of the degree to which an individual is satisfied with his or her whole life. The participants of the study consisted of 176 university students. The study was carried out based on the relational screening method within the scope of the quantitative approach. As a result of the research, it was seen that the students were satisfied with their university, but they evaluated their lives as moderately satisfied. There is a highly positive and significant relationship between school satisfaction and life satisfaction. In other words, as students' life satisfaction increases, their university satisfaction also increases. Another result of the research is that life satisfaction is an important predictor of school satisfaction. In addition, it was determined that the school satisfaction of the students differed significantly according to the age variable, and there was no significant difference according to the class and gender variable. It was concluded that life satisfaction did not differ according to age, class and gender.
