The aim of this study is to reveal the relationship between leisure time management and future expectations of high school students. For this purpose, a total of 1057 high school students (590 female and 467 male) were selected using the appropriate sampling method. As data collection tool; “The Future Expectation Scale” developed by Şimşek (2012) was used to determine the future expectations of students and “The Leisure Time Management Scale”, which was developed by Wang et all. (2011) and adapted to Turkish by Akgül and Karaküçük (2015) was used to determine the leisure management of students. In the analysis of the data, percentage and frequency descriptive statistical methods were used to determine the distribution of the personal information of the participants, Kolmogorov Smirnov test was used to determine whether the data showed normal distribution, MANAVO and correlation analysis were used upon understanding that the data showed normal distribution. In the findings of the study, it was found that the future expectation scale showed a significant difference according to “Gender, Family Income Level and Communication Level” and a significant difference was found only in the leisure management scale according to the “Communication Level” variable. A positive and significant relationship was found between the two scales. As a result; It was concluded that the future expectations of the participants and leisure time management differed according to some variables and the future expectations affect the leisure time management.
