In last decade, developed society's works are seen about citizenship,
social responsibility, altruism, mental health, work and work ethic,
subjective well being and leisure reviews. In this context, especially in
the detection and evaluation of leisure behavior and orientation on the
literature developed and high levels of welfare countries such as;
Netherlands, USA, Canada, UK are researching this subject.
Leisure Behaviours increase the quality of life and provide selfrenewal for the people (Aslan & Camsever, 2012). Leisure Behaviours
also increase creativity, reveal the sense of discovery, and support the
change (Edginton, 2007). Effective management of leisure behaviors
will develop citizenship of the country. It helps to the evolution of
norms and values in a positive direction also in the workplace. Leisure
Behaviours also improve organizational citizenship behaviors, social
responsibility, altruism.
There are more scales developed to measure leisure issues in the
literature. (Müderrisoğlu et al, 2005; Gürbüz et al, 2007; Mutlu, 2008;
Yerlisu Lapa & Ağyar, 2011; Beard & Ragheb, 1982; Raymore et al,
1999). These scales focuses leiusure. But, none of them took into
account workplace leisure behaviours.
