This study aims to examine and understand the relationships between leisure satisfaction, emotional intelligence, hedonia and eudaimonia. The research data were gathered from 222 academic and administrative staff of Bitlis Eren University in Turkey using a questionnaire technique through previous studies measurement scales. Firstly, SPSS 23 Program was used to make an explanatory factor analysis. In the following step, the data were analysed through SmartPLS statistical software to test the structural equation model of the study. In order to examine the measurement model of the study, Cronbach Alpha, CR and AVE values as well as discriminant validity findings were evaluated. Bootstrapping technique was used for the structural model analysis. As a result of the analysis, all three research hypotheses were accepted. Namely, analysis results prove that, from an in-depth perspective, leisure satisfaction affects emotional intelligence, and emotional intelligence affects hedonia and eudaimonia. On these results, promoting and spreading leisure activities throughout Bitlis by the university seems necessary for the staff to perform better. It is expected to increase the productivity of both academic and administrative staff and create a healthier working environment for Bitlis Eren University and other universities in Turkey. Therefore, it is crucial that various universities, especially Bitlis Eren University, encourage their staff to participate in some form of activities and take the initiative to organize these activities. Based on the results of this study, several theoretical and practical contributions are discussed.
