Independent Sample t-test and One-Way Analysis of Variance were performed to reveal the distinctions between dependent and independent variables. In order to determine whether there is a significant relationship in the relationships between physical education and sports teachers' job satisfaction, job integration and burnout, the results were interpreted correlation analysis among the variables.
