Abstract :In this study, 190 academic staff of Aydin Adnan Menderes University in 2019. between attitude towards sports and happiness level were investigated. In our study, the \"Attitude Scale towards Sport\" and the \"Oxford Happiness Scale-short form\" are used. The data collected were analysed using the results of the t-test, one-way analysis ANOVA and postdoc analysis (Tukey test) in the SPSS package programme (Statistical Package for Social Science). Based on the obtained results, in one of the sub-dimensions of attitude towards sports, the level of attitude in the sub-dimension \"being interested in sports and living with it\" was determined to be below, while the level of attitude in the sub-dimension \"actively playing sports\" was determined to be higher. It was found that the academics have a higher-than-average attitude when we consider the attitude scale towards sport, i.e., their level of attitude towards sport was defined as high. As for their happiness level, their attitude was below average, i.e., their happiness level was defined as low. As for the general consideration, it was found that there was no significant relationship between attitude towards sport and happiness level.
