ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study is to investigate how engagement in leisure time activities influences subjective well-being via perceived leisure satisfaction, as well as the moderating role of perceived severity of COVID-19 in these associations. The data for the analysis were collected using a convenience sampling method from 405 people working in various areas of Turkey via an online survey. Regression analysis, mediating effect analysis, and conditional process analysis were used to examine the hypotheses. The mediation analysis result reveals that leisure time satisfaction plays a mediating role in the relationship between leisure time activities' participation level and subjective well-being. The results of the conditional process analysis demonstrate that the perceived severity of COVID-19 has a conditional influence on the direct and indirect relations between the variables in the conceptual model of the research.
