dc.description.abstract | The objective of the present is to adapt the work-related quality of life scale developed by Van Laar, Edwards and Easton (2007) to Turkish and educational organizations. The study was conducted with four different study groups. The first study group included 31 English teachers (language validity), the second study group included 50 teachers (item total correlation and internal consistency coefficient analysis), the third group of the study included 324 teachers (construct validity), and the fourth study group included 118 teachers (test-retest reliability). In the linguistic equivalence study, the correlation coefficient between English and Turkish forms of scale is .77. In the pilot scheme conducted for the Turkish form of the scale, it was observed that the scale item total correlation values varied between 0.32 and 0.84, and the Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficient for the scale was .95. Confirmatory factor analysis, performed to confirm the construct of the 23 item and 6 factor scale (?² / Sd = 402.6657 / 224 = 1.79; RMSEA = .05; SRMR = .05; CFI = .96; NNFI = .95), and the results demonstrated that the scale had model goodness of fit and sub-dimension factor loads varied between .33 and .97. In reliability studies, it was determined that the test-retest and Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficients for the whole scale and its sub-dimensions were found as follows; job and career satisfaction (0.78; 0.73), general well-being (.79; .81), control at work (.89; .71), stress at work (.70; .77), working conditions (.80; .80), home-work interface (.91; .75), work-related quality of life general (.93; .88). Based on these findings, it could be argued that the Turkish form of the work-related quality of life is valid and reliable. | en_US |
