In today's world, organizations attach great importance to employee satisfaction and quality in order to be successful and to provide competitive advantage. Employee satisfaction leads to increased organizational performance and organizational development. Particularly in sectors with a large number of competitors, one way of achieving sustainable competitive advantage is to solve the problems of the employees and carry out improvement studies related to them. Thissituation is important both in terms of organizational success and quality. In this study, an employee satisfaction scale was developed as a quality indicator. In the spring semester of the 2016-2017 academic year, 586 employees, 342 of which were academic and 244 were administrative, participated in Ahi Evran University. Literature search was done before the writing of the scales was started. Other satisfaction scales were examined in this literature review. Explanatory and confirmatory factor analyzes were carried out in the study for scale development. After the exploratory factor analysis, Cronbach's Alpha values were calculated for each dimension so that reliability analyzes were performed. The Cronbach Alpha indices of the whole scale and subscales indicate that the scale is highly reliable.When the results of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis are evaluated together, it is concluded that the employee satisfaction scale is a valid and reliable scale to measure the satisfaction level of academic and administrative personnel in universities. It is hoped that the developed scale will take its place as a referral scale used by the higher education institutions seeking quality and contributing significantly to the literature.
