The ability of employees to show high performance in line with their business goals is directly related to their satisfaction with their jobs and workplace opportunities. This satisfaction is expressed with the concept of job satisfaction. Determining the job satisfaction levels of the employees and the factors affecting this situation is of great importance in terms of developing suggestions for increasing job satisfaction.

The study data were obtained by questionnaire technique. The survey was applied to 227 forest engineers working in the Regional Directorates of Forestry in the Mediterranean and Aegean regions. While preparing the questionnaire, scales for job satisfaction were used and adapted to forest engineers.
